Accumulating evidence suggests that the timing of brief stationary sounds affects visual motion perception. Recent studies have shown that auditory time interval can alter apparent motion perception not only through concurrent stimulation but also through brief adaptation. The adaptation after-effects for auditory time intervals was found to be similar to those for visual time intervals, suggesting the involvement of a central timing mechanism. To understand the nature of cortical processes underlying such after-effects, we adapted observers to different time intervals using either brief sounds or visual flashes and examined the evoked activity to the subsequently presented visual apparent motion. Both auditory and visual time interval adaptation led to significant changes in the ERPs elicited by the apparent motion. However, the changes induced by each modality were in the opposite direction. Also, they mainly occurred in different time windows and clustered over distinct scalp sites. The effects of auditory time interval adaptation were centred over parietal and parieto-central electrodes while the visual adaptation effects were mostly over occipital and parieto-occipital regions. Moreover, the changes were much more salient when sounds were used during the adaptation phase. Taken together, our findings within the context of visual motion point to auditory dominance in the temporal domain and highlight the distinct nature of the sensory processes involved in auditory and visual time interval adaptation.

Cortical processes underlying the effects of static sound timing on perceived visual speed
Kaya, Utku; Kafaligönül, Hulusi (Neuroimage, 2019-10-01)
It is well known that the timing of brief static sounds can alter different aspects of visual motion perception. For instance, previous studies have shown that time intervals demarcated by brief sounds can modulate perceived visual speed such that apparent motions with short auditory time intervals are typically perceived as faster than those with long time intervals. Yet, little is known about the principles and cortical processes underlying such effects of auditory timing. Using a speed judgment paradigm ...

Yüksel, Oğuzhan; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Bilgiç, Mert; Devrilmez, Erhan (2017-10-19)
GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı, görsel perdelemenin basketbol sporcularının sezinleme zamanına (SZ) etkisini incelemektir. 127 YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya yaşları 18 ile 25 arasında (Ort=14.2 yaş, Ss=3.81) değişen 19 üniversite basketbol sporcusu (8 kadın & 11 erkek) katılmıştır Katılımcılar 7 ile 14 yıl arasında (Ort=10.16 yıl, Ss=2.57) basketbol deneyimine sahiptirler. Sporcuların SZ performansları modifiye Bassin Sezinleme Zamanı (BSZ) aleti ile ölçülmüştür. Katılımcıların SZ zamanları uyarı hızı 7 m/s olarak...
The Impact of Architectural and Urban Patterns on the Behaviour of an Exhibited Angular Size-Illusion
Djordjevic, Djordje; Djukanovic, Gordana (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2017-6-15)
This paper continues a research in which it has been confirmed that the angular size-illusion underpins a contradictory effect related to a seeming size-decrease of focused architectural and urban objects as the observer approaches them. It explores the impact of various architectural and urban patterns on the behavior of an angular size-illusion noticeable during movement. To obtain sustainable conclusions, real locations are selected and simplified. Simplification criteria are defined respecting the preco...
Effects of voice familiarity on auditory distance perception
Demirkaplan, Özgen; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2017)
Auditory distance perception is a multidimensional phenomenon. Familiarity with the sound source is known to have an important effect on the distance perception as one of the cognitive cues. An auditory distance perception experiment to assess the effects of interpersonal familiarity on auditory distance perception is reported in this article. The subjective experiment involves a binaural listening experiment where different source distances between 0.5 and 16 meters were simulated. The participants are 12 ...
