Abstract
This study examined whether visual stimuli of peripheral vision can be used to change one’s sense of time without interfering with work on a screen. This study focused on the periodicity of visual stimuli and investigated the effects of periodic visual stimuli on one’s sense of time. Results of the first experiment revealed that the negative effect of periodic visual stimuli of peripheral vision on tempo-unconscious tasks is small. For the second experiment, results suggest that the sense of time increases in proportion to a periodicity of visual stimuli of peripheral vision and it is the longest at a frequency of 60 times per minute. These findings might help to create methods that can intentionally change one’s sense of time and improve work efficiency.
