Journal ArticleDOI
Neural basis of the perception and estimation of time
TL;DR: It is proposed that the interconnections built into this core timing mechanism are designed to provide a form of degeneracy as protection against injury, disease, or age-related decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding the beat: a neural perspective across humans and non-human primates
TL;DR: It is suggested that a cross-species comparison of behaviours and the neural circuits supporting them sets the stage for a new generation of neurally grounded computational models for beat perception and synchronization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interval Tuning in the Primate Medial Premotor Cortex as a General Timing Mechanism
TL;DR: It is found that neurons in the medial premotor cortex of behaving monkeys are tuned to the duration of produced intervals during rhythmic tapping tasks, suggesting that MPC is part of a core timing network that uses interval tuning as a signal to represent temporal processing in a variety of behavioral contexts where time is explicitly quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subsecond Timing in Primates: Comparison of Interval Production Between Human Subjects and Rhesus Monkeys
TL;DR: The rhesus monkey is validated as an appropriate model for the study of the neural basis of time production, but the findings suggest that the exquisite temporal abilities of humans, which peak in speech and music performance, are not all shared with macaques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring time with different neural chronometers during a synchronization-continuation task
TL;DR: It is shown that time-keeping in the MPC is governed by separate cell populations, and the sensorimotor loops engaged during the task may depend on the cyclic interplay between different neuronal chronometers that quantify the time passed and the remaining time for an action.
