The 31st Perceptual Frontier Seminar: Temporal Organization in the Brain

Date and time: Thursday, 15 December 2016, 14:00-16:00
Venue: 709 (Kazuo Ueda's office), 7th floor, Build. 3, Ohashi Campus, Kyushu University
Organizer: Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA (Kyushu University/ReCAPS)

Time takes many different forms, but different temporal forms tend to be united into a single time. This is also the case in our brain. The newest topics related to this issue will be presented in order to find new connections between different frontiers.

Program

1. Assimilation and contrast between two adjacent time intervals marked by sound bursts
Yoshitaka Nakajima*
*ReCAPS, Faculty of Design, Kyushu University

2. Somatosensory evoked field in response to visuo-tactile stimuli presented to young children
Gerard B. Remijn* et al.
*ReCAPS, Faculty of Design, Kyushu University

3. Temporal averaging and cross-modal assimilation
Lihan Chen*
*School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University

4. Neural correlates of perceptual inequality in auditory temporal assimilation paradigm
Takako Mitsudo*
*Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Kyushu University

"Temporal perceptual grouping and transfer in a multisensory context"

Multisensory processing within seconds is pivotal for many perceptual and cognitive tasks. Here we adopted the research paradigms of temporal ventriloquism, priming and illusory (auditory) gap transfer to address the guiding principles of intra-modal and cross-modal temporal perceptual grouping. We used methods of psychophysics, fMRI and MEG to investigate the (ensemble) coding of temporal events and the underpinning neural signatures. The accumulated evidence has also shown that our brain takes a centralized temporal representation and the benefits of temporal training of events in one sensory modality could be quickly transferred to another modality.

Keywords: Temporal; Perceptual grouping; Ternus display; psychophysics; MEG; fMRI
