Human time perception and its illusions.
Why does a clock sometimes appear stopped? Is it possible to perceive the world in slow motion during a car accident? Can action and effect be reversed? Time perception is surprisingly prone to measurable distortions and illusions. The past few years have introduced remarkable progress in identifying and quantifying temporal illusions of duration, temporal order, and simultaneity. For example, ...
متن کاملUnderstanding human perception by human-made illusions
IT MAY BE FUN TO PERCEIVE ILLUSIONS, BUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THEY WORK IS EVEN MORE STIMULATING AND SUSTAINABLE: They can tell us where the limits and capacity of our perceptual apparatus are found-they can specify how the constraints of perception are set. Furthermore, they let us analyze the cognitive sub-processes underlying our perception. Illusions in a scientific context are not main...
متن کاملBodily Illusions Modulate Tactile Perception
Touch differs from other exteroceptive senses in that the body itself forms part of the tactile percept. Interactions between proprioception and touch provide a powerful way to investigate the implicit body representation underlying touch. Here, we demonstrate that an intrinsic primary quality of a tactile object, for example its size, is directly affected by the perceived size of the body part...
متن کاملIllusions and Issues In Bimodal Speech Perception
As witnessed by this conference and many other sources of evidence, the study of bimodal speech perception has attained the status of a cottage industry. The addition of just one more modality has made transparent several new phenomena, new theoretical endeavors, and a closer link between research and application. The goal of this paper is to review a series of relevant issues in our search for...
متن کامل24 Lightness Perception and Lightness Illusions EDWARD
The amount of light coming to the eye from an object depends on the amount of light striking the surface, and on the proportion of light that is reflected. If a visual system only made a single measurement of luminance, acting as a pho-tometer, then there would be no way to distinguish a white surface in dim light from a black surface in bright light. Yet humans can usually do so, and this skil...
