Si Cheng’s fMRI study in NeuroImage: Reports finds that the previous interval lingers in the putamen, not visual cortex, when people reproduce durations, and that task switching recruits …

In a stripped-down lab feed with EEG and eye tracking, a 60-second block of self-paced scrolling felt like 28 seconds, shorter than watching the same images replayed, yet memory for them was no …

Featured on 3sat nano, our preliminary results show that actively browsing short videos shrinks felt time far more than passively watching them, and that scrolling leaves memories too blurred to …

A paper rejected by JEP:LMC after three rounds and a demanded replication, then published in Cognition: Zhuanghua Shi reflects on what the publication system costs its authors, above all PhD students.

Lingyue Chen’s study in Psychological Research shows that a saccade not only stretches the first event seen afterwards but also compresses the next one, a tug-of-war that intensifies the …

At TEDxTUM, Zhuanghua Shi explained how hidden time cues push us into snap decisions that scammers exploit, and how slowing down leads to more deliberate choices.

Prof. John Wearden came to Munich to revisit Vierordt’s Law, weighing internal-clock and contextual accounts of why we overestimate short intervals and underestimate long ones, and argued that …

Zhuanghua Shi took the TEDxTUM stage at Simple Complexity on Nov. 4th to show how hidden time cues quietly steer everyday choices and how we can learn to spot and master them.

Training vision while the eyes move lets perceptual learning spread beyond the trained spot to untrained parts of the visual field, LMU Newsroom reports on the PNAS study by Grzeczkowski, Shi, Rolfs …

Lukasz Grzeczkowski shows in PNAS that perceptual learning transfers to a new location when the eyes saccade there, though not to a new feature, told through the Chinese myth of archer Feng Meng.

Karl von Vierordt thought he had found a law of time perception. Glasauer and Shi show his random interval order created the distortion, which nearly vanishes when durations drift as a random walk.
