Topic: temporal perception

Interval timing is a fundamental component action, and is susceptible to motor-related temporal distortions. Previous studies have shown that movement biases temporal estimates, but have primarily considered self-modulated movement only. However, real-world encounters often include situations in which movement is restricted or perturbed by environmental factors. In the following experiments, we introduced viscous movement environments to externally modulate movement and investigated the resulting effects on temporal perception. In two separate tasks, participants timed auditory intervals while

The sensory content and temporal structure of stimuli consistently bias the percept of duration. Previous studies revealed that intervals filled with continuous sensory input are perceived as longer compared to stimuli only marked at their onset and offset, a phenomenon referred to as 'filled duration illusion'. It remains unclear whether these distinct stimulus formats are measured by a common timing mechanism. In our study, we aimed to examine potential differences in the EEG correlates of temporal processing for filled, flanked and empty stimuli. We tested participants in a temporal reprodu
