Similar effect of running on visual and auditory time perception in the ranges of milliseconds and seconds.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The ability to accurately encode events' duration is of critical importance for almost all everyday activities, yet numerous factors have been reported to robustly distort time perception. One of these is physical activity (i.e., running, walking) but, partly due to the variety of methodologies employed, a full comprehension of the role of exercise on the encoding of time has still to be achieved.

Methods

Here we tackle the issue with a multifaceted approach by measuring the effect of vigorous running with a time generalization task for visual and auditory stimuli in the range of milliseconds (0.2-0.8 s) as well as seconds (1-4 s). At baseline, participants performed both the encoding and decoding at rest while in the experimental conditions the decoding was per
