Finally, studies investigating duration discrimination training have shown that training benefits such as increased discrimination sensitivity do not transfer to other non-trained durations (Bartolo & Merchant, 2009;Bueti & Buonomano, 2014;Karmarkar & Buonomano, 2003;Wright, Buonomano, Mahncke, & Merzenich, 1997).…”

An investigation of the spatial selectivity of the duration after-effect

a b s t r a c tAdaptation to the duration of a visual stimulus causes the perceived duration of a subsequently presented stimulus with a slightly different duration to be skewed away from the adapted duration. This pattern of repulsion following adaptation is similar to that observed for other visual properties, such as orientation, and is considered evidence for the involvement of duration-selective mechanisms in duration encoding. Here, we investigated whether the encoding of duration -by duration-selective mechanisms -occurs early on in the visual processing hierarchy. To this end, we investigated the spatial specificity of the duration after-effect in two experiments. We measured the duration after-effect at adapter-test distances ranging between 0 and 15°of visual angle and for within-and between-hemifield presentations. We replicated the duration after-effect: the test stimulus was perceived to have a longer duration following adaptation to a shorter duration, and a shorter duration following adaptation to a longer duration. Importantly, this duration after-effect occurred at all measured distances, with no evidence for a decrease in the magnitude of the after-effect at larger distances or across hemifields. This shows that adaptation to duration does not result from adaptation occurring early on in the visual processing hierarchy. Instead, it seems likely that duration information is a high-level stimulus property that is encoded later on in the visual processing hierarchy.

“…of voice-onset-time, a common one Abramson 1964, 1967;Rosen 1992). Recent data suggest a mechanism for absolute duration encoding based on neuronal ''channels'' of preferred duration (Becker and Rasmussen 2007;Heron et al 2011;Ivry 1996). Mechanisms for the representation of stimulus intensity or the corresponding percept of loudness however do not allow such an absolute encoding perceptually.…”

Enhanced basic perceptual discrimination has been reported for pitch in individuals with autism spectrum conditions. We test whether there is a correlational pattern of enhancement across the broader autism phenotype and whether this correlation occurs for the discrimination of pitch, time and loudness. Scores on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient correlated significantly with the pitch discrimination (r = -0.51, p < 0.05) and the time-interval discrimination (r = -0.45, p < 0.05) task that were based on a fixed reference. No correlation was found for intensity discrimination based on a fixed reference, nor for a variable reference based time-interval discrimination. The correlations suggest a relationship between autistic traits and the ability to form an enhanced, stable and highly accurate representation of auditory events in the pitch and time dimensions.

“…These results imply that duration adaptation involves modality-dependent and interval-independent clock systems. Similar to other sensory adaptations, a channel-based model has been proposed to explain the duration aftereffect (Becker and Rasmussen, 2007;Heron et al, 2012;Ivry, 1996;Walker et al, 1981). According to this model, human brain is endowed with duration detectors that have overlapping duration tuning properties.…”
