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.

Two Types of Timing Mechanism of Period Error Control in Synchronization Tapping

TL;DR: It is suggested that the period error correction is a negative feedback process and the role of attention is also clarified in this synchronization tapping task.

Space is a late heuristic of elapsing time: New evidence from the STEARC effect

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the STEARC effect as a function of response speed in two different experiments in healthy participants, and found that when decisions on time durations were slow, while no spatial representation of time was present with fast decisions, it is possible to empirically separate the behavioural manifestations of the non-spatial and nurtured spatial mechanisms of time coding.

Discontinuity in the Perception of Sub-second Intervals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the behavioral pattern of estimating and reproducing brief sub-second intervals in the human brain and found that participants were more likely to respond longer to the 500 ms stimuli than the 400 ms stimuli.

Die Neuropsychologie der Zeit - Kognitive und emotionale Modulatoren der zeitlichen Erfahrung The Neuropsychology of Time - Cognitive and Emotional Modulators of Temporal Experience

Marc Wittmann
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of time experiences together with the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying these experiences are discussed, and it is shown that the experience of time is in fact an indicator of cognitive and emotional states.

Direct and Indirect Timing Functions in Unilateral Hemispheric Lesion

TL;DR: Overall, the findings suggested that there is a right hemispheric bias in the neural substrate of explicit timing, in both sub- and supra-second intervals, and for the first time in a lesion study, showed the evidence of left-hemispheric biases in neural substrates of implicit timing.

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.

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.
