Percept of the duration of a vibrotactile stimulus is altered by changing its amplitude

EM Francisco, JK Holden, RH Nguyen… - Frontiers in Systems …, 2015 - frontiersin.org
There have been numerous studies conducted on time perception. However, very few of
these have involved tactile stimuli to assess a subject's capacity for duration discrimination …

The influence of prior experience and expected timing on vibrotactile discrimination

M Karim, JA Harris, A Langdon… - Frontiers in …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Vibrotactile discrimination tasks involve perceptual judgements on stimulus pairs separated
by a brief interstimulus interval (ISI). Despite their apparent simplicity, decision making …

Perceived duration of visual and tactile stimuli depends on perceived speed

A Tomassini, M Gori, D Burr, G Sandini… - Frontiers in integrative …, 2011 - frontiersin.org
It is known that the perceived duration of visual stimuli is strongly influenced by speed: faster
moving stimuli appear to last longer. To test whether this is a general property of sensory …

Perceptual timing precision with vibrotactile, auditory, and multisensory stimuli

MB Villalonga, RF Sussman, R Sekuler - Attention, Perception, & …, 2021 - Springer
The growing use of vibrotactile signaling devices makes it important to understand the
perceptual limits on vibrotactile information processing. To promote that understanding, we …

Vibrotactile amplitude discrimination capacity parallels magnitude changes in somatosensory cortex and follows Weber's Law

E Francisco, V Tannan, Z Zhang, J Holden… - Experimental brain …, 2008 - Springer
In this study, we investigated the changes in perceptual metrics of amplitude discrimination
that were observed in ten healthy human subjects with increasing intensities of stimulation …

Feeling for space or for time: task-dependent modulation of the cortical representation of identical vibrotactile stimuli

B Godde, ME Diamond, C Braun - Neuroscience letters, 2010 - Elsevier
Using functional MRI we examined the task-dependency of brain activation patterns evoked
by vibrotactile stimulation. For this purpose, we measured activations after identical …

Direct contribution of the sensory cortex to the judgment of stimulus duration

S Reinartz, A Fassihi, M Ravera, L Paz… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Decision making frequently depends on monitoring the duration of sensory events. To
determine whether, and how, the perception of elapsed time derives from the neuronal …

Keep your finger on the pulse: Better rate perception and gap detection with vibrotactile compared to visual stimuli

MB Villalonga, R Sekuler - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2023 - Springer
Important characteristics of the environment can be represented in the temporal pattern of
sensory stimulation. In two experiments, we compared accuracy of temporal processing by …

Involvement of human primary somatosensory cortex in vibrotactile detection depends on task demand

L Tamè, NP Holmes - NeuroImage, 2016 - Elsevier
Detecting and discriminating sensory stimuli are fundamental functions of the nervous
system. Electrophysiological and lesion studies suggest that macaque primary …

The sensory representation of time

D Bueti - Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Time is embedded in many aspects of our sensory experience; sensory events unfold in time
and often acquire particular meaning because of their specific temporal structure. The speed …
