    • Process timing and its relation to the coding of tonal harmony. 

      Elliott, Mark (American Psychological Association, 2010)
      Advances in auditory research suggest that gamma-band synchronization of frequency-specific cortical loci could be responsible for the integration of pure tones (harmonics) into harmonic complex tones. Thus far, evidence ...

    • Process timing and its relation to the perception of tonal harmony 

      Elliott, Mark (Editora Legis Summa Ltda, 2002)
      Recent advances in auditory research suggest that gamma-band synchronization of frequency-specific cortical loci could be responsible for the integration of pure tones (harmonics) into harmonic complex tones. Thus far, ...

    • Some effects of negative delays upon the perception of causal relatedness 

      Elliott, Mark (The International Society for Psychophysics, 2004)
      We examined the effects of negative delays on the perception of causality using a variation of the paradigm originated by Michotte (1954) and as an extension to similar work conducted by Kanizsa and Vicario (1968). In our ...

    • Some facilitatory effects of lorazepam on dynamic visual binding 

      Elliott, Mark (Springer, 2006)
      Rationale: The benzodiazepine lorazepam enhances the potential for inhibitory (GABAA) synapses in the cortex to stabilize postsynaptic, excitatory activity by synchronizing discharge rates at frequencies of around 40 Hz. ...

    • Structural imbalance and aesthetic preference in domestic chicks 

      Mulcahy, Paul; Elliott, Mark (The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
      In Arnheim¿s (1954/1974) theory of structural balance, an image is more aesthetically pleasing when it demonstrates balance between multiple internal sources of directed perceptual force. Areas of balance and preferred ...

    • Synchronization and stimulus timing: Implications for temporal models of visual information processing. 

      Elliott, Mark (Lawrence Erlbaum and Associates / Psychology Press (Taylor & Francis), 2004)
      In the visual system, objects and object groupings may be initially coded in terms of physically separable attributes or features, representing differential spatial frequencies, orientations, colors, directions of motion, ...

    • Synchronous information presented in 40-Hz flicker enhances visual feature binding 

      Elliott, Mark (Blackwell, 1998-01)
      Recent neurophysiological studies have encouraged speculation that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies (at around 40 Hz in the neocortex) is responsible for the binding of discrete stimulus ...

    • Temporal event-structure coding in developmental dyslexia: evidence from explicit and implicit temporal processes 

      Elliott, Mark; Shanagher, Louise (National Library of Serbia, 2010-01-01)
      As an alternative to theories positing visual or phonological deficits it has been suggested that the aetiology of dyslexia takes the form of a temporal processing deficit that may refer to impairment in the functional ...

    • Temporal structure and inner psychophysics: A glimpse of equilibrium? 

      Elliott, Mark (The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
      It has been suggested that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies at fast frequencies in the range 20 - 80 Hz (the ¿gamma¿ band) is instrumental for binding the separate feature-elements of a figure ...

    • Temporal tolerance circumscribed 

      Elliott, Mark (Taylor & Francis, 2005-05)
      Chen's topological theory of perceptual organization includes the idea that equivalences in spatial organization and the organization of subjective experiences of time may be derived by means of common expression in terms ...

    • Time opined: A being in the moment 

      Elliott, Mark (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019)
      [No abstract available]

    • Visual field and task influence illusory figure responses 

      Elliott, Mark (Wiley, 2008-11)
      In normal viewing conditions, many objects are often hidden or occluded by others, therefore restricting the information that enters the eye. One ability that the human visual system has developed to compensate for this ...

    • The visual hallucinatory response to flickering polychromatic light. 

      Elliott, Mark (The International Society for Psychophysics, 2004)
      Our understanding of human visual perception generally rests on the assumption that conscious visual states represent, in some qualitative fashion, a complex interaction between spatially structured variations in the ambient ...

    • Visual perception in a snapshot 

      Elliott, Mark (Springer, 2006-04-14)
      To study visual perception in its sub-second scale of time continues to be timely: we have more unsolved puzzles than bits of a firm undisputable knowledge about how our perceptions are created in a snapshot of time. ...
