Reducing bias in auditory duration reproduction by integrating the reproduced signal.

Duration estimation is known to be far from veridical and to differ for sensory estimates and motor reproduction. To investigate how these differential estimates are integrated for estimating or reproducing a duration and to examine sensorimotor biases in duration comparison and reproduction tasks,...

description Duration estimation is known to be far from veridical and to differ for sensory estimates and motor reproduction.
