Interactive Digital Engagement With Visual Artworks and Cultural Artefacts Enhances User Aesthetic Experiences in the Laboratory and Museum

Martin Vetterli, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Christine Mohr, Pierre Gabioud

Digital technologies reshape the way we interact with our environment, including with artworks. Advanced computational imaging solutions allow having extremely high-resolution digital reproductions of artworks outside museums, presumably increasing artwork ...

Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity

Maya Roinishvili, Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Niloufar Pouyan, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Meng Zhang

Many of us "see red," "feel blue," or "turn green with envy." Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we t ...

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 ...

The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries

Maya Roinishvili, Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Niloufar Pouyan, Nevena Dimitrova, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Meng Zhang, Ramiro Tau

Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...

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 ...

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 ...

EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy

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

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) ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Alessandro Tremea, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Christine Mohr

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

Put on that colour, it fits your emotion: Colour appropriateness as a function of expressed emotion

Cynthia Marchand, Christine Mohr

People associate affective meaning with colour, and this may influence decisions about colours. Hue is traditionally considered the most salient descriptor of colour and colour-affect associations, although colour brightness and saturation seem to have par ...

Gender differences in visual perception

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Gender differences are well established in cognition and somato-sensation, but there are almost no studies on gender differences in visual perception. One reason is that sample size is often small because effect sizes are large. Small samples are not well ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Backward Masking in Schizotypy

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

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 ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...

Are We Modular Lying Cues Detectors? The Answer Is "Yes, Sometimes"

Mathieu Arminjon, Vladimir Kopta, Amer Chamseddine, Aleksandar Paunovic, Christine Mohr

We quickly form first impressions about newly encountered people guiding our subsequent behaviour (approach, avoidance). Such instant judgments might be innate and automatic, being performed unconsciously and independently to other cognitive processes. Lyi ...

The longitudinal association between social functioning and theory of mind in first-episode psychosis

Christine Mohr, Daniela Herzig

IntroductionThere is some cross-sectional evidence that theory of mind ability is associated with social functioning in those with psychosis but the direction of this relationship is unknown. This study investigates the longitudinal association between bot ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Guillaume Sierro, Christine Mohr, Géraldine Beaud

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...

Is there a common factor for vision?

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Christine Mohr

In cognition, common factors play a crucial role. For example, different types of intelligence are highly correlated, pointing to a common factor, which is often called g. One might expect that a similar common factor would also exist for vision. Surprisin ...
