Brain activity, measured by event-related potentials (ERPs), shows increased negativity for longer perceived auditory stimulus durations. This supports internal clock models where accumulated pulses correlate with longer perceived time.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Internal clock models propose that timing relies on accumulating pulses, where more pulses lead to longer perceived durations.
  • Understanding the neural basis of time perception is crucial for explaining cognitive timing mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if the pulse accumulation process in internal clock models is reflected in the amplitude of event-related brain potentials (ERPs).
  • To examine the neural correlates of perceived duration differences for auditory stimuli within the 400-600 ms range.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a duration discrimination paradigm with auditory stimuli.
  • Measured event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in response to stimuli.
  • Analyzed ERP amplitudes in relation to subjective duration judgments (shorter vs. longer than a 500 ms standard).

Main Results:

  • Physically identical auditory stimuli elicited more negative ERP amplitudes when perceived as longer than the standard duration.
  • This sustained negativity emerged within the first 100 ms after stimulus onset.
  • The observed negativity was not attributable to response biases (e.g., lateralized readiness potential) but indicated processing differences.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support internal clock models by demonstrating a neural reflection of pulse accumulation in ERP amplitude.
  • Increased perceived duration is associated with enhanced neural negativity, consistent with a higher number of accumulated temporal pulses.
  • This study provides electrophysiological evidence for the relationship between neural processing and subjective time perception.
