TLDR
It is argued that careful analysis of this literature provides evidence for separate neural timing systems associated with opposing task characteristics, the 'automatic' system draws mainly upon motor circuits and the 'cognitively controlled' system depends upon prefrontal and parietal regions.

Neural bases of individual differences in beat perception.

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was combined with a timing task that is diagnostic of individual differences in beat perception and compared the brain activity of individuals who readily perceive an implied beat with those who do not.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation of duration-based and beat-based auditory timing in cerebellar degeneration.

TL;DR: The findings support the existence of a stopwatch-like cerebellar timing mechanism for absolute intervals that is distinct from mechanisms for entrainment with a regular beat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of neural activity in the posterior insula encodes the passage of time

TL;DR: Evidence of neural systems activity in circumscribed areas of the human brain involved in the encoding of intervals with durations of 9 and 18s in a temporal reproduction task using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Dopaminergic modulation of striato-frontal connectivity during motor timing in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: In Parkinson's disease, in the 'OFF' medication state, excessive inhibitory pallidal outflow is associated with a lack of adequate frontal activation and reliance on the cerebellum for motor timing, and administration of dopaminergic medication increases striatal-frontal connectivity between caudate nucleus and prefrontal cortex during motor timing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do we have a common mechanism for measuring time in the hundreds of millisecond range? Evidence from multiple-interval timing tasks

TL;DR: The performance variability was larger not only in perceptual tasks than that in motor-timing tasks, but also using visual rather than auditory stimuli, and decreased as a function of the number of intervals.

Language within our grasp

TL;DR: It is proposed here that an observation/execution matching system provides a necessary bridge from'doing' to'communicating', as the link between actor and observer becomes a link between the sender and the receiver of each message.

Timing functions of the cerebellum

TL;DR: The results suggest that the domain of the cerebellar timing process is not limited to the motor system, but is employed by other perceptual and cognitive systems when temporally predictive computations are needed.

Where and when to pay attention: the neural systems for directing attention to spatial locations and to time intervals as revealed by both PET and fMRI.

TL;DR: Brain-imaging data revealed a partial overlap between neural systems involved in the performance of spatial versus temporal orientation of attention tasks, and hemispheric asymmetries revealed preferential right and left parietal activation for spatial and temporal attention, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of brain activation during temporal processing.

TL;DR: A dynamic network of cortical-subcortical activation associated with different components of temporal information processing is illustrated, implicating these systems in attention and temporary maintenance of intervals.
