Quantifying the timing (duration and frequency) of brief visual events is vital to human
perception, multisensory integration and action planning. Tuned neural responses to visual …

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 …

Precise time estimation is crucial in perception, action and social interaction. Previous
neuroimaging studies in humans indicate that perceptual timing tasks involve multiple brain …

Processing quantities such as the number of objects in a set, size, spatial arrangement and
time is an essential means of structuring the external world and preparing for action. The …

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 …

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 …
