Comparison of Responses to DCN vs. VCN Stimulation in a Mouse Model of the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)

Stéphanie Lacour, Florent-Valéry Coen, Nicolas Vachicouras

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is an auditory neuroprosthesis that provides hearing to deaf patients by electrically stimulating the cochlear nucleus (CN) of the brainstem. Whether such stimulation activates one or the other of the CN's two major sub ...

The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

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 ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Patricia Figueiredo, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Spatial covariance improves BCI performance for late ERPs components with high temporal variability

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Marija Uscumlic, Ruslan Aydarkhanov

Objective. Event Related Potentials (ERPs) reflecting cognitive response to external stimuli, are widely used in brain computer interfaces. ERP waveforms are characterized by a series of components of particular latency and amplitude. The classical ERP dec ...

Neural dynamics of the competition between grouping organizations

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Einat Rashal

Neural dynamics of the competition between grouping organizations have been studied to a limited extent. The paradigms used so far confounded grouping operations with task demands, using explicit reports of the predominantly perceived organization and bias ...

Time course of prediction errors in sequential decision making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...

Cardio-visual full body illusion alters bodily self-consciousness and tactile processing in somatosensory cortex

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell

Prominent theories highlight the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness, but it is currently not known whether this is based on interoceptive or exteroceptive signals or on integrated signals from these anatomically distinct systems, nor wh ...

Neural Correlates of Sequential Decision Making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously shown that visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia (Chkonia et al., 2010). Importantly, not only patients but also ...

Visual backward masking in siblings of schizophrenia patients: evidence for a compensation mechanism

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Patricia Figueiredo

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced EEG amplitudes. In VBM, a target stimulus is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. Here, we inves ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking: Compensation mechanism in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced EEG amplitudes. In VBM, a target stimulus is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. Here, we inves ...

Compensation of visual backward masking deficits in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced N1 amplitudes as shown by the Global Field Power (GF ...

Apparent compensation mechanisms in relatives of schizophrenia patients in visual backward masking

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients. VBM is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with redu ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia. For example, 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). Patients need ISIs that are 1 ...

EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, 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) ...

The electrophysiological effects of the serotonin 1A receptor agonist buspirone in emotional face processing

Fosco Bernasconi

Emotional face processing is critically modulated by the serotonergic system, and serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonists impair emotional face processing. However, the specific contribution of the 5-HT1A receptor remains poorly understood. Here we investigated ...

Asynchronous Decoding of Error Potentials During the Monitoring of a Reaching Task

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated how they can be used for reaching tasks with both invasive and non-invasive signal recording methods. Despite the constant improvements in this field, there still exist diverse factors to overcome before ac ...
