Modality-dependent and modality-independent nature of central tendency in time perception

Timescale- and Sensory Modality-Dependency of the Central Tendency of Time Perception

When individuals are asked to reproduce intervals of stimuli that are intermixedly presented at various times, longer intervals are often underestimated and shorter intervals overestimated. This phenomenon may be attributed to the central tendency of time perception, and suggests that our brain optimally encodes a stimulus interval based on current stimulus input and prior knowledge of the dist...

Time and Modality in Avicennan Logic

time and modality in avicennan logic

one ef the most important innovations in the history ef traditional logic is the avicena's theory ef temporal modalities (.atm). althottgh) the basic concepts and elements ef this theory are fottnded in aristotelian and stoic-lvlegarian !0 gic) but as a independent lo,gical system, are devised on/y fry avicenna and were later developed and completed fry his followers. the atm theory contai...

Sensory modality and time perception in children and adults.

This experiment investigated the effect of signal modality on time perception in 5- and 8-year-old children as well as young adults using a duration bisection task in which auditory and visual signals were presented in the same test session and shared common anchor durations. Durations were judged shorter for visual than for auditory signals by all age groups. However, the magnitude of this mod...

Modality Independent Elastography

Introduction While traditional imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) have had a dramatic impact on detection and diagnosing tissue abnormalities, their benefit in the early detection and characterization of breast cancer pathology has been limited. As a result, alternative imaging modalities designed to characterize the material propert...
