Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts (2023)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Lupton, M., & George, D. (2023). Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231172856

When asked to judge the duration of a face people typically overestimate the duration of angry compared with neutral faces. A novel feature of the current research was the inclusion of secondary manipulations designed to distort timing performance na...

Speeding up time: Hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion modelling evidence for accelerating temporal accumulation (2021)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Lupton, M., & George, D. (2021). Speeding up time: Hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion modelling evidence for accelerating temporal accumulation. Timing and Time Perception, 9(4), 393-416. https://doi.org/10.1163/22134468-bja10030

Time perception is malleable - it can be made to speed up and slow down by various experimental manipulations including the presentation of a sequence of auditory clicks and also angry facial expressions. Recent evidence supports the idea that audito... Read More about Speeding up time: Hierarchical Bayesian drift diffusion modelling evidence for accelerating temporal accumulation.

The Effects of Time Pressure on Temporal Overestimation Due to Threat (2021)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Lupton, M., & George, D. (2021). The Effects of Time Pressure on Temporal Overestimation Due to Threat. Timing and Time Perception, 149, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1163/22134468-bja10027

© 2021 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden. How does emotion change the way we perceive time? Studies have shown that we overestimate the duration of faces that express anger of fear-an effect that has been explained as due the speeding of a pacemaker that...

Rapid temporal accumulation in spider fear: Evidence from hierarchical drift diffusion modelling. (2015)
Journal Article
Tipples, J. (2015). Rapid temporal accumulation in spider fear: Evidence from hierarchical drift diffusion modelling. Emotion, 15(6), 742-750. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0000079

Fear can distort our sense of time – making time seem slow or even stand still. Here, I used Hierarchical Drift Diffusion Modelling (HDDM; Vandekerckhove, Tuerlinckx, & Lee, 2008, 2011; Wiecki, Sofer, & Frank, 2013) to test the idea that temporal acc...

Facial emotion modulates the neural mechanisms responsible for short interval time perception (2013)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Brattan, V., & Johnston, P. (2015). Facial emotion modulates the neural mechanisms responsible for short interval time perception. Brain topography, 28(1), 104-112. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10548-013-0350-6

Emotionally arousing events can distort our sense of time. We used mixed block/event-related fMRI design to establish the neural basis for this effect. Nineteen participants were asked to judge whether angry, happy and neutral facial expressions that...

Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds) (2013)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Brattan, V., & Johnston, P. (2013). Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds). PLoS ONE, 8(1), e54669. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0054669

The current research was designed to establish whether individual differences in timing performance predict neural activation in the areas that subserve the perception of short durations ranging between 400 and 1600 milliseconds. Seventeen participan... Read More about Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds).

Electrophysiological responses to violations of expectation from eye gaze and arrow cues (2012)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Johnston, P., & Mayes, A. (2013). Electrophysiological responses to violations of expectation from eye gaze and arrow cues. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 8(5), 509-514. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nss024

Isolating processes within the brain that are specific to human behavior is a key goal for social neuroscience. The current research was an attempt to test whether recent findings of enhanced negative ERPs in response to unexpected human gaze are uni...

When time stands still: Fear-specific modulation of temporal bias due to threat. (2011)
Journal Article
Tipples, J. (2011). When time stands still: Fear-specific modulation of temporal bias due to threat. Emotion, 11(1), 74-80. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0022015

The current study was designed to test the fear-specific nature of temporal bias due to threat. A temporal bisection procedure was used in which participants (N = 46) were initially trained to recognize short (400 ms) and long (1,600 ms) standard dur...

Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception (2008)
Journal Article
Tipples, J. (2008). Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception. Emotion, 8(1), 127-131. https://doi.org/10.1037/1528-3542.8.1.127

In this study I used a temporal bisection task to test if greater overestimation of time due to negative emotion is moderated by individual differences in negative emotionality. The effects of fearful facial expressions on time perception were also e... Read More about Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception.
