The EEG multiverse of schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Wei-Hsiang Lin, Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez

Research on schizophrenia typically focuses on one paradigm for which clear-cut differences between patients and controls are established. Great efforts are made to understand the underlying genetical, neurophysiological, and cognitive mechanisms, which ev ...

Embedded figures in schizophrenia: A main deficit but no specificity

Michael Herzog, Michel Akselrod, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Visual deficits are core deficits of schizophrenia. Classically, deficits are determined with demanding psychophysical tasks requiring fine-grained spatial or temporal resolution. Less is known about holistic processing. Here, we employed the Leuven Embedd ...

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

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Simona Adele Garobbio, 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 ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with bipolar disorder

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

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask that decreases target discriminability. Schizophrenia patients (SZ) show strong and reproducible masking impairments, which are associated with reduced EEG amplitudes. Patients with bipolar d ...

About common factors in vision

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Simona Adele Garobbio, 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 ...

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

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

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 ...

EEG microstates are a candidate endophenotype for schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Electroencephalogram microstates are recurrent scalp potential configurations that remain stable for around 90 ms. The dynamics of two of the four canonical classes of microstates, commonly labeled as C and D, have been suggested as a potential endophenoty ...

Risk prediction error signaling: A two-component response?

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Kerstin Preuschoff, Marc Michael Lauffs, Sophie Alberta Catherine Geoghan

Organisms use rewards to navigate and adapt to (uncertain) environments. Error-based learning about rewards issupported by the dopaminergic system, which is thought to signal reward prediction errors to make adjustmentsto past predictions. More recently, t ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with major depressive disorder

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

Depression and schizophrenia are two psychiatric diseases with high co-morbidity. For this reason, it is important to find sensitive endophenotypes, which may disentangle the two disorders. The Shine-Through paradigm, a visual backward masking task, is a p ...

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 ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in the schizophrenia continuum

Ophélie Gladys Favrod

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask. Over the past decade, a VBM task, called the Shine-Through paradigm (ST), has been shown to be a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. In the present thesis, the electrophysiologica ...

Rethinking Body Ownership in Schizophrenia: Experimental and Meta-analytical Approaches Show no Evidence for Deficits

Michael Herzog, Olaf Blanke, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Roy Salomon, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder, in which patients experience an abnormal sense of self. While deficits in sensorimotor self-representation (agency) are well docu- mented in schizophrenia, less is known about other aspects of bodily self-rep ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with first episode psychosis

Visual masking and schizophrenia: enhancement deficit 200 ms after stimulus onset

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

Masking is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients and to a lesser extent in their healthy relatives. For this reason, masking is a good endophenotype. Here, we show the EEG correlates of masking across the schizophrenia continuum in order to tackl ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in high schizotypic personality traits participants

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

Visual backward masking is strongly deteriorated in patients with schizophrenia. Masking deficits are associated with strongly reduced amplitudes of the global field power in the EEG. Healthy participants who scored high in cognitive disorganization (a sch ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in first-episode psychosis

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

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disorder and among other symptoms, patients have important visual impairments. Visual paradigms are therefore important tools to investigate the mechanisms of schizophrenia. We have previously shown that visual backward mas ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

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

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 ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking in psychosis

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

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask, which deteriorates performance on the target. Schizophrenia and first episodes patients show strong behavioral deficits, reflected in strongly reduced amplitudes of the EEG as compared to co ...

Electroencephalogram (EEG) Frontal Asymmetry and Error-Related Signals Are Potential Markers of Internalizing and Externalizing Behaviors in Children: A Meta-Analysis

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Objectives: The frontal hemispheric asymmetry and error-related components, as measured by EEG, are often considered to be biological correlates or “indicators of risk” for psychopathology. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to define specific patterns of ...
