    Visual perception of time is complex. High spatial frequency gratings appear shorter in brief durations, suggesting different mechanisms for short and long time perception.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual Perception
    • Psychophysics
    • Cognitive Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Accurate duration estimation is crucial for sensorimotor control and cognitive processing.
    • Previous research suggests that visual stimulus properties can influence time perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of spatial frequency (SF) and contrast on duration estimation for short and long time intervals.
    • To explore the underlying mechanisms of time perception based on stimulus characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Magnitude estimation was used to assess duration perception of square-wave gratings.
    • Stimuli varied in spatial frequency (0.7–12 c/deg) and contrast (85%).
    • Presentations were categorized as 'short' (≤150 ms) and 'long' (>190 ms).

    Main Results:

    • High SF gratings were perceived as shorter than low SF gratings during brief presentations.
    • Apparent contrast decreased with increasing SF, influencing duration judgments.
    • Duration estimates increased with contrast for short presentations only.

    Conclusions:

    • Spatial frequency and contrast significantly modulate duration perception, particularly for short intervals.
    • Apparent contrast changes with SF likely mediate the effect of SF on short duration estimation.
    • Findings support the hypothesis of distinct neural mechanisms for short and long duration perception.
