temporal perception

Causality shifts the perceived temporal order of audiovisual events.

Causality poses explicit constraints to the timing of sensory signals produced by events, as sound travels slower than light, making auditory stimulation to lag visual stimulation. Previous studies show that implied causality between unrelated events …

Exogenous cueing of visual attention using small, directional, tactile cues applied to the fingertip

The deployment of visual spatial attention can be significantly influenced in an exogenous, presumably bottom-up manner. Traditionally, spatial cueing paradigms have been utilized to come to such conclusions. Although these paradigms have primarily …

Perceptual Limits of Visual-Haptic Simultaneity in Virtual Reality Interactions

The goal of this work is to establish the range of visual-haptic asynchronies that go unnoticed when touching an object. To perform a psychophysical study, however, we would need asynchronous visual-haptic stimuli, but because the contact of the …

Modality-specific temporal constraints for state-dependent interval timing

The ability to discriminate temporal intervals in the milliseconds-to-seconds range has been accounted for by proposing that duration is encoded in the dynamic change of a neuronal network state. A critical limitation of such networks is that their …

An Experimental Setup to Test Dual-Joystick Directional Responses to Vibrotactile Stimuli

In this paper we investigate the influence of the location of vibrotactile stimulation in triggering the response made using two handheld joysticks. In particular, we compare performance with stimuli delivered either using tactors placed on the palm …

Timing and Time Perception: Procedures, Measures, & Applications

Timing and Time Perception: Procedures, Measures, and Applications is a one-of-a-kind, collective effort to present -theoretically and practically- the most utilized and known methods on timing and time perception.

Assessing Duration Discrimination: Psychophysical Methods and Psychometric Function Analysis

Predicting the binding mode of flexible polypeptides to proteins is an important task that falls outside the domain of applicability of most small molecule and protein−protein docking tools. Here, we test the small molecule flexible ligand docking …

Musical Scales in Tone Sequences Improve Temporal Accuracy

Predicting the time of stimulus onset is a key component in perception. Previous investigations of perceived timing have focused on the effect of stimulus properties such as rhythm and temporal irregularity, but the influence of non-temporal …

Experimental Evaluation of Vibrotactile Training Mappings for Dual-Joystick Directional Guidance

Two joystick-based teleoperation is a common method for controlling a remote machine or a robot. Their use could be counter-intuitive and could require a heavy mental workload. The goal of this paper is to investigate whether vibrotactile prompts …

In this paper we investigate the influence of the location of vibrotactile stimulation in triggering the response made using two handheld joysticks. In particular, we compare performance with stimuli delivered either using tactors placed on the palm …
