The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary
Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod
In the past 10 years, our laboratory has proved the shine-through paradigm to be a very sensitive endophenotype for schizophrenia. The shine-through paradigm is a visual backward masking task, where the target is a vertical vernier followed by a 25-element ...
2021Sensorimotor conflicts induce somatic passivity and louden quiet voices in healthy listeners
Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic
Sensorimotor conflicts are known to alter the perception of accompanying sensory signals, and deficits in sensory attenuation have been observed in schizophrenia. In the auditory domain, self-generated tones or voices (compared to tones or voices presented ...
2021Revealing Information by Averaging
Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa
We present a method for hiding images in synthetic videos and reveal them by temporal averaging. The main challenge is to develop a visual masking method that hides the input image both spatially and temporally. Our masking approach consists of temporal an ...
Optical Soc Amer2017Retinotopic information is rendered invisible by non-retinotopic processing
Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs
Classically, stimuli are rendered unconscious by backward masking or binocular rivalry, where it is usually assumed that the mask or the stimulus in the contralateral eye suppress the target. Based, on the Ternus-Pikler display (http://lpsy.epfl.ch/researc ...
2016EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy
Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro
Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia, especially in backward masking. In our task a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right) ...
2016"Can you hear me now?"
This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...
EPFL2016Intact crowding and temporal masking in dyslexia
Phonological deficits in dyslexia are well documented. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether visual deficits limit the reading skills of people with dyslexia. Here, we investigated visual crowding and backward masking. We presented a Vernie ...
Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology2015The effects of ageing on visual spatiotemporal processing
In a previous study, we showed that visual spatiotemporal processing deteriorates with healthy ageing (Roinishvili et al, 2011, Vision Research, 51(4):417-23). Here, we used backward masking to investigate the underlying mechanisms. First, thirty-three old ...
Pion Ltd2014Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy
Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Ophélie Gladys Favrod
In visual backward masking, a briefly presented target is followed by a mask, which impairs target discrimination. Backward masking is strongly impaired in schizophrenic patients and their unaffected relatives. We found that masking deficits correlated wel ...
2013Perception and Reproduction of Auditory Spatial Impression
As audio reproduction systems evolve to incorporate many loudspeakers, the potential to evoke faithful auditory spatial impressions increases. Psychoacoustic principles of auditory spatial perception, and methods for production and reproduction of acoustic ...
