This thesis presents a series of human psychophysical experiments designed to examine
the interaction between the reliability of spatial form information and the neural mechanisms …

This thesis documents a series of experiments designed to investigate the mechanisms
subserving sub-second duration processing in humans. Firstly, duration aftereffects were …

A fundamental question about the perception of time is whether the neural mechanisms
underlying temporal judgements are universal and centralised in the brain or modality …

Adaptation 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 …

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 …

A fundamental question about the perception of time is whether the neural mechanisms
underlying temporal judgements are universal and centralized in the brain or modality …

Temporal perception encompasses several timing properties, including duration and
temporal rate. If temporal perception were a unified mechanism, one might predict that …

A key question for temporal processing research is how the nervous system extracts event
duration, despite a notable lack of neural structures dedicated to duration encoding. This is …

Event duration perception is fundamental to cognitive functioning. Recent research has
shown that localized sensory adaptation compresses perceived duration of brief visual …

Highlights•We review evidence for several timing mechanisms across visual
space.•Selective adaptation reveals also specific temporal channels tuned for duration.•Eye …
