Prismatic Lenses Shift Time Perception
TLDR
It is confirmed that temporal intervals are represented as horizontally arranged in space, but also revealed that spatial modulation of time processing most likely occurs via cuing of spatial attention, and that spatial attention can influence the spatial coding of quantity in different dimensions.Abstract:
Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of spatial codes in the representation of time and numbers. We took advantage of a well-known spatial modulation (prismatic adaptation) to test the hypothesis that the representation of time is spatially oriented from left to right, with smaller time intervals being represented to the left of larger time intervals. Healthy subjects performed a time-reproduction task and a time-bisection task, before and after leftward and rightward prismatic adaptation. Results showed that prismatic adaptation inducing a rightward orientation of spatial attention produced an overestimation of time intervals, whereas prismatic adaptation inducing a leftward shift of spatial attention produced an underestimation of time intervals. These findings not only confirm that temporal intervals are represented as horizontally arranged in space, but also reveal that spatial modulation of time processing most likely occurs via cuing of spatial attention, and that spatial attention can influence the spatial coding of quantity in different dimensions.read more

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

When time is space: evidence for a mental time line.
TL;DR: The empirical findings supporting the possibility that humans represent the subjective time flow on a spatially oriented "mental time line" that is accessed through spatial attention mechanisms are presented.

Patients With Left Spatial Neglect Also Neglect the “Left Side” of Time
TL;DR: This work shows that patients with left hemispatial neglect have difficulty representing events that are associated with the past and, thus, fall to the left on the mental time line, and appears that intact spatial representations are necessary for at least some types of temporal representation.

Spatial–temporal interactions in the human brain
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarises current evidence on the cognitive mechanisms for the integration of spatial and temporal representations and of common brain structures to process the where and when of stimuli.

A theory of magnitude: common cortical metrics of time space and quantity
TL;DR: This work proposes here that time, space and quantity are part of a generalized magnitude system and outlines A Theory Of Magnitude (ATOM) as a conceptually new framework within which to re-interpret the cortical processing of these elements of the environment.

Prism adaptation to a rightward optical deviation rehabilitates left hemispatial neglect

TL;DR: The positive effect found for both sensorimotor and more cognitive spatial functions suggests that they share or depend on a common level of space representation linked to multisensory integration.

The neural basis of the Weber-Fechner law: a logarithmic mental number line.
TL;DR: In a recent article, Nieder and Miller demonstrate a neural correlate of Weber's law, and thus resolve a classical debate in psychophysics: the mental number line seems to be logarithmic rather than linear.

Long‐lasting amelioration of visuospatial neglect by prism adaptation

TL;DR: Findings show that prism adaptation is a productive way of achieving long-lasting improvements in neglect treatment, and was found in standard as well as in behavioural tests and in all spatial domains.

Abnormal temporal dynamics of visual attention in spatial neglect patients.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate for the first time that visual neglect is a disorder of directing attention in time, as well as space.
