Content and time are inherently linked in our perceptual experience, so much so that we use changes in content – like hands on a clock – to tell time. Here, we ask how the brain conjointly keeps track of content and time.
I want to thank my supervisors Joost and Peter for their guidance and trust in what was an exciting Master’s project for me. Thanks to Steve for his valuable feedback as well as computational and theoretical know-how.
Following the stimulus-empty window, participants saw a probe which, varying by block, they had to judge in terms of its orientation or timing. When judging time, but not orientation, motor oscillations phase-couple (or ‘entrain’) to the tracked – but absent – rhythm, predicting task performance.
Excited to share that our MEG project is now out in Current Biology! We show how visual content codes relate to motor oscillations in telling time.
