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.

Rhythm and Beat Perception in Motor Areas of the Brain

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in addition to their role in movement production, the basal ganglia and SMAs may mediate beat perception.
Journal ArticleDOI

Timing and time perception: A review of recent behavioral and neuroscience findings and theoretical directions

TL;DR: The present review article discusses the question of whether there is an internal clock (pacemaker counter or oscillator device) that is dedicated to temporal processing and reports the main hypotheses regarding the involvement of biological structures in time perception.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neural representation of time

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent investigations of temporal processing and outlines an alternative hypothesis in which the basal ganglia as a specialized timing system is associated with decision processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroanatomical and neurochemical substrates of timing.

TL;DR: Neural firing rates in both striatal and interconnected frontal areas vary as a function of duration, suggesting a neurophysiological mechanism for the representation of time in the brain, with the excitatory–inhibitory balance of interactions among distinct subtypes of striatal neuron serving to fine-tune temporal accuracy and precision.

TUTORIAL REVIEW Timing and time perception: A review of recent behavioral and neuroscience findings and theoretical directions

Simon Grondin
TL;DR: A review of recent literature related to psychological time and time perception can be found in this article, where the roles of the cerebellum, of the cerebral cortices, and of the basal ganglia in the timing processes are emphasized.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
