Dear Prof. Ostwald and
Dear All,
It seems really difficult to beat Bruno.
I thought this was a good chance to be the first to respond, but failed.
We are also interested in "bilateral assimilation" recently (=in this
decade). Another path we are aiming at is an electrophysiological study as
in the following article,
Takako Mitsudo, Yoshitaka Nakajima, Gerard
B. Remijn, Hiroshige Takeichi , Yoshinobu Goto, and Shozo Tobimatsu,
"Electrophysiological evidence of auditory temporal perception related to the
assimilation between two neighboring time intervals,"
NeuroQuantology, 7,
114-127, 2009.
An advantage of this kind of study is
that it is very easy to make demonstrations to check the reported results,
and indeed the materials seem suitable for educational
purposes.
Best regards,
Yoshitaka

perception
Dear Jo:
If you are considering using short intervals
(< 500 ms), please look at the literature on the "time shrinking" illusion
by Nakajima, ten Hoopen, and coworkers. There are about a dozen published
papers on this particular topic.
Best,
Bruno

Dear
list,
students of mine plan to do a course project on the
precission of interval timing perception.
The
problem shall be addressed in two lines
-
interval bisection - how precise has a signal to be in the middle of an
interval to perceive the two resulting intervals as being equal. Does this
depent on the duration of the original interval, does it depent on signal
properties (tone pulse vs click, pulse frequency)
- if
three signals are given in a series, how precisely has the timing of the
third stimulus match the interval between the first two signals in order to
perceive the two resulting intervals as equal
Could
anybody please offer some hints to studies on these topics so we can start
an in depth literature search.
Thanks
very much
