TL;DR: It is concluded that at this level of illness (depersonalization and derealization), and despite their reports, psychiatric patients do not make a significant number of errors in time and space perception.
Abstract: Fifteen derealized patients reporting distortions in time and/or space perception and 15 matched controls were tested for differences in their perception of time and space. When the test responses were "fed back" as the input on subsequent trials in order to amplify small but consistent errors, no differences were found. The authors conclude that at this level of illness (depersonalization and derealization), and despite their reports, psychiatric patients do not make a significant number of errors in time and space perception.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) data to specify when and where pure temporal processing occurred in the brain and found that the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) showed more activation in the interval task than in the pitch task.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to specify when and where “pure” temporal processing occurred in the brain. Event-related potentials were recorded from 13 young, healthy volunteers performing interval and pitch discrimination tasks. In the interval task, two 1000-Hz tones (S1 and S2) were presented with an interval of 1000 or 1500 ms. Participants were asked to judge whether the S1–S2 interval was short or long. In the pitch task, the S1 (1000 Hz) was followed by the S2 (1000 or 1050 Hz) with a fixed interval of 1000 ms. Participants were asked to judge whether the pitch of the S2 was the same as or different from that of the S1. In both tasks, contingent negative variation (CNV) was observed in the period between 500 and 1000 ms after the S1. The amplitude of the CNV was larger in the interval task than in the pitch task. The data were analyzed using low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA). The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) showed more activation in the interval task than in the pitch task. This result suggests that the right DLPFC may play an important role in time perception and processing the temporal dimension of events.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the preferred account of the Illusion, which posits that the onset of the postsaccadic stimulus is antedated to a moment just prior to movement initiation, and review supporting evidence that illustrates key characteristics of the illusion, including its dependency on saccade extent.
Abstract: © Cambridge University Press, 2010. Summary The term “saccadic chronostasis” refers to the subjective temporal lengthening of a visual stimulus perceived following a saccadic eye movement. In this chapter, we discuss our preferred account of the illusion, which posits that the onset of the postsaccadic stimulus is antedated to a moment just prior to movement initiation, and review supporting evidence that illustrates key characteristics of the illusion, including its dependency on saccade extent. We conclude with a brief discussion of other examples of biased time perception that have been linked to saccadic chronostasis. Introduction When people make a saccadic eye movement to fixate a new visual target, they overestimate the duration for which that target is perceived (Yarrow et al. 2001). This illusion, which we have called saccadic chronostasis, has been demonstrated using the following basic procedure. Subjects make a saccade to a target that changes form or color during the saccade. They judge the duration of the new target stimulus relative to subsequently presented reference stimuli, and these judgments are used to determine a point of subjective equality (PSE; the point at which the target and reference stimuli are perceived to have identical durations). This procedure is schematized in Fig. 10.1. The same task performed while fixating forms a control. Reduced PSEs in saccadic conditions compared to control fixation conditions are a gauge of the temporal overestimation of the postsaccadic stimulus.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical decision hypothesis is outlined to account for a progressive lengthening of judgments which occurs when a series of reproductions of a time interval is made without interpolation of a standard.
Abstract: A statistical decision hypothesis is outlined to account for a progressive lengthening of judgments which occurs when a series of reproductions of a time interval is made without interpolation of a standard. Three experiments are reported in which it is found that this serial effect can be manipulated by hypothetical payoff conditions, that the effect still occurs when subjects are told to count while making their judgments, and that two successive judgments are sufficient to demonstrate the effect if enough subjects are used. The phenomenon is related to recent studies of vigilance in which statistical decision theory has been applied. It is suggested that serial reproductions of time intervals may perhaps be a more sensitive index of the factors underlying vigilance than the traditional measures involving long sessions with weak, sporadic signals.

TL;DR: In this article, a field study was performed in a Via Ferrata to explore how affective response influences time perception during an arousing activity in a real-life setting (passing through a 69m-long, 20m-high, two-rope bridge).
Abstract: Summary A field study (n = 61) was performed in a Via Ferrata to explore how affective response influences time perception during an arousing activity in a real-life setting (passing through a 69-m-long, 20-m-high, two-rope bridge). Two questionnaires were administered (i) at the end point of the bridge (high-arousing condition) and (ii) close to the end of the Via Ferrata (low-arousing condition). Participants assessed their affect (arousal, valence, and dominance) and provided retrospective (duration estimation and passage of time judgments) and prospective (to produce a subjective minute using a stopwatch) temporal judgments. The results showed that the actual performance mediated the relationship between affect and retrospective time perception measures, with the exception of dominance, which directly predicted passage of time judgments. Regarding prospective measures, an increase in arousal was parallel to shorter temporal productions. The results are discussed in terms of the emotional factors underlying time perception in ecological contexts.Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
