Humans use temporal regularities in their daily life to act in accordance with future events in the most efficient way. To achieve this, humans build temporal expectations and determine a template action that is in line with those expectations. In this temporal trisection study, we aimed to study the neurophysiological counterparts of temporal expectation and response discrimination. We investigated amplitude variations of early event-related potentials (ERPs) while manipulating time intervals. We measured temporal expectation-related attenuation of neural activity and response discrimination processes in N1 and P2 ERP components. Results showed that the amplitude of the N1 component was attenuated for the predicted task-relevant temporal location of a response decision. The P2 amplitude, in contrast, was enhanced for a discriminated response in comparison to a template response. The present study supports a link between the different functional associations of the N1 and P2 components within the requirements of a timing task. N1-related amplitude modulation can determine a change in expectation level during timing. The amplitude regulation of the P2 component, in contrast, explains temporal discrimination in both expected and unexpected temporal locations. In addition to expectation-related modulation, our results suggest an additional regulation of the N1 amplitude that is linked to attention. The effect was observed in instances that included a prediction error of a task-relevant temporal location for a response decision. In conclusion, our study contributes to the growing neurocognitive literature on interval timing by capturing different aspects of a timing task; namely, NI-related expectation and P2-related response discrimination processes.

Hierarchical incremental context modeling on robots Doğan, Fethiye Irmak; Kalkan, Sinan; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Context is very crucial for robots to be able to adapt themselves to circumstances and to fulfill their tasks accordingly. There have been many studies on modeling context on robots, however, these studies either do not construct an incremental and hierarchical structure (i.e., use a fixed number of contexts and context layers) or determine the necessity of adding a new context by using rule-based approaches. In this thesis, we propose two different methods to model context. In the first method, we extend t...
Behavioral and electrophysiological signatures of expectation, interference and discrimination in time perception Duzcu, Halil; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2017) Expectation, interference and temporal discrimination ability are three crucial factors which affect human time perception. In this thesis, expectation is obtained by temporal location manipulation and results indicate that attentional time-sharing between keeping track of time and doing the concurrent task leads to timing disruption which supports the working memory maintenance accounts (Exp-1-2-3). Expectation effect is also studied through electrophysiological markers (Exp-4-5). Results indicate that the...
Futurist thinking in urbanism: a retrospective & prospective view in the global context of transforming socio-economic structures Efeoğlu, Hulusi Eren; Çalışkan, Olgu; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018) The idea of future has always emerged as a major concept for humanity. Each and every period of the civilizations, there has been always a motivation for people to manifest their ideal futures. In the context of urbanism, the intellectual capacity of utopian thinking has influenced most of the discussions on urbanism during the history. In this regard, destructive impacts of industrial revolutions have become the triggering forces to construct the ideal image of the future city. When the first industrial re...
SPEED PERCEPTION IN MULTISENSORY PROFILES: WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF ATTENTION? Kavaklıoğlu, Efsun; Özge, Umut; Kafalıgönül, Hulusi; Department of Bioinformatics (2022-2-7) Multisensory processing and crossmodal interactions in the temporal domain are crucial for survival in a dynamic environment. Temporal ventriloquism illusion demonstrates the importance of the crossmodal interactions in the temporal domain and the influences of the auditory signals (e.g., auditory time intervals) on visual perception. Attention is another mechanism playing a critical role in sensory processing, and it allows us to prioritize relevant information in the visual field. Previous studies have sh...
Knowledge-sharing techniques for Egocentric Navigation KESKİNPALA, Türker; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; WİLKES, D Mitch; KAWAMURA, kazuhiko (2003-10-08) Teams of humans and robots working together can provide effective solutions to problems. In such applications, effective human-robot teaming relies on being able to communicate information about the current perception or understanding of the environment. In this paper, human-robot teaming on navigational tasks is discussed The role of the human user will be to specify the goal point(s) for the robot, and also to interact with the robot in the event of perceptual errors. A novel navigation method, Egocentric...
