“…The results reported here are in strong contrast with the result of studies investigating the effect of adaptation to other temporal and non-temporal stimulus features on perceived duration (Johnston et al, 2006;Ortega et al, 2012;Zhou et al, 2014). In general, these studies report strong spatial selectivity indicating an origin in early visual areas (e.g.…”

“…For example, it has been shown that adapting to the temporal frequency content of a stimulus can cause spatially localized shifts in the perceived duration of subsequent events. These spatially selective after-effects following adaptation have been attributed to modulation in neurons in LGN and V1 (Ayhan, Bruno, Nishida, & Johnston, 2009;Johnston et al, 2006;Ortega et al, 2012; but see Burr, Tozzi, & Morrone, 2007;Fornaciai, Arrighi, & Burr, 2016). These findings suggest a strong relation between low-level visual processing and the encoding of temporal information.…”

“…Therefore, encoding duration information at an early stage of visual processing would potentially allow for more precise encoding of the onset and offset of an event, resulting in more accurate duration encoding. Furthermore, several studies on duration perception have shown that adaptation to both temporal and non-temporal visual features can cause changes in the perceived duration of subsequent events, which are restricted to the location at which adaptation took place (Johnston, Arnold, & Nishida, 2006;Ortega, Guzman-Martinez, Grabowecky & Suzuki, 2012;Zhou, Yang, Mao, & Han, 2014). For example, it has been shown that adapting to the temporal frequency content of a stimulus can cause spatially localized shifts in the perceived duration of subsequent events.…”

An investigation of the spatial selectivity of the duration after-effect

a b s t r a c tAdaptation to the duration of a visual stimulus causes the perceived duration of a subsequently presented stimulus with a slightly different duration to be skewed away from the adapted duration. This pattern of repulsion following adaptation is similar to that observed for other visual properties, such as orientation, and is considered evidence for the involvement of duration-selective mechanisms in duration encoding. Here, we investigated whether the encoding of duration -by duration-selective mechanisms -occurs early on in the visual processing hierarchy. To this end, we investigated the spatial specificity of the duration after-effect in two experiments. We measured the duration after-effect at adapter-test distances ranging between 0 and 15°of visual angle and for within-and between-hemifield presentations. We replicated the duration after-effect: the test stimulus was perceived to have a longer duration following adaptation to a shorter duration, and a shorter duration following adaptation to a longer duration. Importantly, this duration after-effect occurred at all measured distances, with no evidence for a decrease in the magnitude of the after-effect at larger distances or across hemifields. This shows that adaptation to duration does not result from adaptation occurring early on in the visual processing hierarchy. Instead, it seems likely that duration information is a high-level stimulus property that is encoded later on in the visual processing hierarchy.

“…Recent studies (Burr, Tozzi, & Morrone, 2007;Johnston, Arnold, & Nishida, 2006) have demonstrated that adaptation to high-frequency visual stimuli decreased subjective duration of another visual stimulus at the location where the high-frequency stimulus had been presented. This phenomenon may seem analogous to the present findings.…”

“…When a flickering stimulus is presented in a specific region of visual space and leads to local adaptation, there is a reduction of the perceived duration of subsequent stimuli if they are presented in the same specific region, but not if they are presented in other regions of visual space (Johnston, Arnold, & Nishida, 2006). Burr, Tozzi, and Morrone (2007) also reported that the timing of visual events is spatially selective.…”

Suppose someone had to prepare a review article on visual perception, instead of time perception. This individual would probably ask for a series of reviews, with at least one-and probably several-dedicated to color, distance, shape, and motion perception, and maybe to other aspects of visual perception. It would be very difficult to complete the same exercise for time perception since the categories of temporal experiences are not as clearly defined. However, for a reader to understand the scope of a text on time perception, it is essential to develop a representation of what the main research avenues or categories are. The present text should help the reader to grasp the scope of recent literature related to psychological time and time perception.After a brief overview of the various perspectives on what could be meant by psychological time, the review will propose to identify of series of key concepts and empirical findings that should delineate the field of time perception and timing, and will discuss some models of time perception. The article also provides a review of the main recent findings in the field in which a neuroscientific approach to timing is adopted. In this section, the roles of the cerebellum, of the cerebral cortices, and of the basal ganglia in the timing processes are emphasized. Time Perception Beyond the Focus of the Present ReviewThere is a wide range of research on psychological time and temporal processing, mainly because of the ubiquity of time in behavior and the relevance of a temporal perspective in regard to living organisms and events. There is a vast literature in social psychology as to how behavior is shaped by time (see Perret-Clermont, 2005, or Strathman & Joireman, 2005, which includes topics such as time management, time perspective, and time orientation, or the relative value of past and future (Caruso, Gilbert, & Wilson, 2008;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Even within the scope of experimental psychology, some studies have emphasized how the temporal structure of events determines our perception of the world (see the second part of Helfrich, 2003).Some authors who are interested in consciousness have adopted a phenomenological perspective on time (see the first part of Buccheri, Saniga, & Stuckey, 2003). Indeed, time and consciousness have become more closely linked recently with the development of a new area of research on the concept of chronesthesia (awareness of subjective time; Tulving, 2002), as opposed to noetic consciousness (awareness of the world) or autonoetic consciousness (awareness of self in time). Interestingly, there is now evidence that even animals can anticipate the future (Roberts, 2008).There are many psychological time studies related in various ways to memory processes (Block & Zakay, 2008). One research avenue deals with the chronology of events in our lives, particularly the memory of the order of occurrence of these events (Damasio, 2002;Friedman, 1993 The aim of the present review article is to guide the reader through portions of the human time per...
