Diving into the heterogeneity of the visual system
Using batteries of visual tests, most studies have found that there are only weak correlations between performance levels of tests in healthy young adults. Factor analysis has confirmed these results. This means that a participant excelling in one test may ...
EPFL2024Weak correlations between visual abilities in healthy older adults, despite long-term performance stability
Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio
Using batteries of visual tests, most studies have found that there are only weak correlations between the performance levels of the tests. Factor analysis has confirmed these results. This means that a participant excelling in one test may rank low in ano ...
2024Evaluating contrast sensitivity in early and intermediate age-related Macular Degeneration with the Quick Contrast Sensitivity Function
Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe, validate, and compare the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) acquired with the novel quick CSF (qCSF) method from patients with early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (eAMD and iAMD) a ...
2023Serial dependence in visual perception: A review
David Pascucci, Ayberk Ozkirli, Gizay Ceylan
How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence what we perceive in the present. In line with this, recent frameworks sugge ...
ASSOC RESEARCH VISION OPHTHALMOLOGY INC2023No Common Factor Underlying Decline of Visual Abilities in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio
Introduction Recent work has shown an association between cognitive and visual impairments and two main theories were advanced, namely the sensory deprivation and the common cause theories. Most studies considered only basic visual functions such as visual ...
2022Modeling Object Dissimilarity for Deep Saliency Prediction
Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Bahar Aydemir, Seungryong Kim, Deblina Bhattacharjee
Saliency prediction has made great strides over the past two decades, with current techniques modeling low-level information, such as color, intensity and size contrasts, and high-level ones, such as attention and gaze direction for entire objects. Despit ...
2022How do visual skills relate to action video game performance?
Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Arthur Barakat
It has been claimed that video gamers possess increased perceptual and cognitive skills compared to non-video gamers. Here, we examined to which extent gaming performance in CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) correlates with visual performance.We tes ...
2021About common factors in vision
Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Simona Adele Garobbio, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez
Often, we intuitively assume that there are common factors in life. For example, we test people with a visual acuity test to determine whether they are allowed to drive a car or not- with the implicit assumption that the acuity test is representative of vi ...
SAGE Publishing2021Brain connectivity and metacognition in persons with subjective cognitive decline (COSCODE): rationale and study design
Background Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the subjective perception of a decline in memory and/or other cognitive functions in the absence of objective evidence. Some SCD individuals however may suffer from very early stages of neurodegenerative dis ...
2021Individual differences in the perception of visual illusions are stable across eyes, time, and measurement methods
Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski
Vision scientists have tried to classify illusions for more than a century. For example, some studies suggested that there is a unique common factor for all visual illusions. Other studies proposed that there are several subclasses of illusions, such as il ...
