CHAPTER

Temporal Recalibration and Illusory Reversal of Action and Effect

This chapter discusses the phenomenon of temporal recalibration and illusory reversal of action and effect caused by differences in delays between two machines. It explores how our brains calibrate to delays and how this can lead to the perception of simultaneous reactions or even the computer answering before the player. The speaker also explains the relationship between temporal recalibration and the motion after effect, as well as its potential connection to schizophrenia.
