The brain can precisely encode the temporal relationship between tactile inputs. While
behavioural studies have demonstrated precise interfinger temporal judgments, the …

Tactile estimation of sub-second time is essential for correct recognition of sensory inputs
and dexterous manipulation of objects. Despite our intuitive understanding that time is …

Temporal summation, a decrease in the detection threshold that occurs when either the
duration of a stimulus or the number of stimuli in a sequence is increased, has been …

Perception of physical identical stimuli can differ over time depending on the brain state.
One marker of this brain state can be neuronal oscillations in the alpha band (8–12 Hz). A …

The human sensory systems constantly receive input from different stimuli. Whether these
stimuli are integrated into a coherent percept or segregated and perceived as separate …

Background Accurate motor timing requires the coordinated control of actions in response to
external stimuli. Over the past few years, several studies have investigated the effect of …

The connection between stimulus perception and time perception remains unknown. The
present study combines human and rat psychophysics with sensory cortical neuronal firing …

Perceived frequency of vibrotactile stimuli can be divided into two distinctive cutaneous
sensations—flutter (< 60 Hz) and vibratory hum (> 60 Hz), mediated by two different tactile …

The sense of touch is initiated by stimulation of peripheral mechanoreceptors, and then the
spatio-temporal pattern of the receptors' activation is interpreted by central cortical …

Accurate perception of sub-second tactile duration is critical for successful human-machine
interaction and human daily life. However, it remains debated where the cortical processing …
