Funded Activity Summary

Distorted Time Perceptions: Altered neural coding or decisional criteria? Human time perception is subject to systematic distortions. For instance, prolonged exposure to a movie wherein sounds lead the visual footage can result in this timing relationship seeming to be synchronous when it did not previously. As yet, it is unclear if such effects reflect altered neural processing times (in this example, visual analyses could be sped, or auditory analyses slowed), or if neural processing times are unchanged, with people simply altering the decisions they make about sensory inputs. This project will determine which type of scenario is responsible for a number of distortions of human time perception.
