Implicit audiomotor adaptation.

Sensorimotor adaptation alters mappings between motor commands and their predicted outcomes. Such remapping has been extensively studied in the visual domain, but the degree to which it occurs in modalities other than vision remains less well understood. Here, we manipulated the modality of reach target presentation to compare sensorimotor adaptation in response to perturbations of visual and auditory feedback location.

Rapid recalibration of temporal order judgements: Response bias accounts for contradictory results.

Recent history influences subsequent perception, decision-making and motor behaviours. In this article, we address a discrepancy in the effects of recent sensory history on the perceived timing of auditory and visual stimuli. In the synchrony judgement (SJ) task, similar timing relationships in consecutive trials seem more synchronous (i.

Microsaccades and covert attention: Evidence from a continuous, divided attention task.

A substantial question in understanding expert behavior is isolating where experts look, and which aspects of their environment they process. While tracking the position of gaze provides some insight into this process, our ability to attend covertly to regions of space other than the current point of fixation, severely limits the diagnostic power of such data. Over the past decade, evidence has emerged suggesting that microscopic eye movements present during periods of fixation may be linked to the spatial distribution of covert attention, potentially offering a powerful tool for studying expert behavior.

Perceptual confidence demonstrates trial-by-trial insight into the precision of audio-visual timing encoding.

Peoples' subjective feelings of confidence typically correlate positively with objective measures of task performance, even when no performance feedback is provided. This relationship has seldom been investigated in the field of human time perception. Here we find a positive relationship between the precision of human timing perception and decisional confidence.
