This study examined changes in time perception as a function of depressive symptoms, assessed for each participant with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The participants performed a temporal bisection task in which they had to categorize a signal duration of between 400 and 1600 ms as either as short or long. The data showed that the bisection function was shifted toward the right, and that...

In the field of biologically inspired cognitive systems, time perception, a fundamental aspect of natural cognition is not sufficiently explored. The majority of existing works ignore the importance of experiencing the flow of time, and the implemented agents are rarely furnished with time processing capacities. The current work aims at shedding light on this largely unexplored issue, focusing ...

nouns or of photographs of faces. This difference in roles of the two hemispheres was to be tested by using right-handed and left-handed Ss. The results were negative, but also the hypotheses were weak. Does a recognition task not always involve the dominant hemisphere? By considering large groups of Ss having brain lesions in widely differing areas , and by subjecting them to a test battery (i...

In studies on prospective time perception, a prolonging effect of arousal on time estimates is commonly reported for durations under 2s while the effect vanishes for longer intervals. In this study, we investigated how arousal and pleasure induced by aural stimuli varying in volume and valence influenced reproductions in the range from 1.1s to 5s. As expected, higher arousal was associated with...
