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

The perception of duration in the subsecond range has been hypothesized to be mediated
by the population response of duration-sensitive units, each tuned to a preferred duration …

Highlights•Duration data has dominated time perception theorising.•Pacemaker–
accumulator (PA) and beat frequency (BF) models developed as duration models.•Often …

Repetitive exposure to relatively long or short sensory events has been shown to shorten or
lengthen the perceived duration of a subsequent event. However, the neural basis of this …

After repetitive exposure to a stimulus of relatively short duration, a subsequent stimulus of
long duration is perceived as being even longer, and after repetitive exposure to a stimulus …

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 …

Background The brain uses recent history when forming perceptual decisions. This results in
carryover effects in perception. Although separate sensory and decisional carryover effects …

Adaptation to relatively long or short sensory events leads to a negative aftereffect, such that
the durations of the subsequent events within a certain range appear to be contracted or …

Accurate time perception is critical for a number of human behaviours, such as
understanding speech and the appreciation of music. However, it remains unresolved …

It has been widely demonstrated that a prolonged adaptation to a relatively long or short
stimulus leads to a robust repulsive duration aftereffect. However, little is known about the …
