In the present study we broadly explored the perception of physical and animated motion in
bouncing-like scenarios through four experiments. In the first experiment, participants were …

The outcome of any scientific experiment or intervention will naturally unfold over time. How
then should individuals make causal inferences from measurements over time? Across three …

People tend to overestimate the causal contribution of the self to the observed outcome in
various situations, a cognitive bias known as the 'illusion of control.'This study delves into …

Here's an all-too-familiar scenario: Person A is staring at person B, and then B turns toward
A, and A immediately looks away (a phenomenon we call 'gaze deflection'). Beyond …

This paper sets forward a novel theory of temporal binding, a mechanism that integrates the
temporal properties of sensory features into coherent perceptual experiences. Specifying a …

Previous research has contrasted fleeting erroneous experiences of familiarity with equally
convincing, and often more stubborn erroneous experiences of remembering. While a …

Ordering events in time is essential for the understanding of causal relationships between
successive events. Incorrect causal links can lead to false beliefs and an altered perception …

We observe causal relationships naturally and quickly in events that we experience in our
life. The current research investigates if causal events like collisions attract our attention to …

Causes require time to propagate their effects. We can see stars at night because of the light
they emitted hundreds of years ago. We can smell the fragrant aroma of baking bread …

We effortlessly recognize various non-rigid materials and predict their behavior from visual
cues. However, causal perception research has largely underexplored dynamic interactions …
