    Body-part specificity for learning of multiple prior distributions in human coincidence timing

    During timing tasks, the brain learns the statistical distribution of target intervals and integrates this prior knowledge with sensory inputs to optimise task performance. Daily events can have different temp...

    Temporal rate is not a distinct perceptual metric

    Sensory adaptation experiments have revealed the existence of ‘rate after-effects’ - adapting to a relatively fast rate makes an intermediate test rate feel slow, and adapting to a slow rate makes the same mod...

    Adaptation reveals multi-stage coding of visual duration

    In conflict with historically dominant models of time perception, recent evidence suggests that the encoding of our environment’s temporal properties may not require a separate class of neurons whose raison d'...

    Rate after-effects fail to transfer cross-modally: Evidence for distributed sensory timing mechanisms

    Accurate time perception is critical for a number of human behaviours, such as understanding speech and the appreciation of music. However, it remains unresolved whether sensory time perception is mediated by ...

    Audiovisual time perception is spatially specific

    Our sensory systems face a daily barrage of auditory and visual signals whose arrival times form a wide range of audiovisual asynchronies. These temporal relationships constitute an important metric for the ne...

    Recalibration of perceived time across sensory modalities

    When formulating an estimate of event time, the human sensory system has been shown to possess a degree of perceptual flexibility. Specifically, the perceived relative timing of auditory and visual stimuli is,...
