The perception of time is one of the hallmarks of conscious experience. However, despite this importance, time is a relatively understudied dimension in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. A central question within the time perception literature is whether timing relies on a …

The experiments reported within this thesis use psychophysical techniques to examine the factors which determine perceived multisensory timing in humans. Chapters 1 and 2 describe anatomical and psychophysical features of temporal processing, respectively, whilst Chapter 3 intro…

The ability to capture the temporal dimension of a natural language text is essential to many natural language processing applications, such as Question Answering, Automatic Summarisation, and Information Retrieval. Temporal processing is a ¯eld of Computational Linguistics whic…

Animal models in the past decade have shown that noise exposure may affect temporal envelope processing at supra-threshold levels while the absolute hearing threshold remains in the normal range. However, human studies have failed to consistently find such issue due to poor cont…
