TLDR
Two subcortical structures, the cerebellum and basal ganglia, play a critical role in the timing of both movement and perception and are examined from both a neurological and a computational perspective.

The Functional Neuroanatomy of Temporal Discrimination

TL;DR: Significant activation of pre-SMA and anterior cingulate was found to be specific to the TD task, which suggests that these two frontal regions may play a role in the temporal processing of somatosensory events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensory and association cortex in time perception

TL;DR: The results show that the right posterior parietal cortex is important for timing of auditory and visual stimuli and that MT/V5 is necessary for timing only of visual events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased variability of paced finger tapping accuracy following repetitive magnetic stimulation of the cerebellum in humans.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the feasibility of transiently disrupting the cerebellum by rTMS and inducing behavioral effects, and this method of 'virtual lesions' can expand the study of the role of the Cerebellum in motor control and cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of cerebellar learning suggested by eyelid conditioning

TL;DR: Results indicate that the cerebellar cortex is responsible for temporally specific learning, and a combination of experimental and computational studies has been important for arriving at these conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practice-Related Improvements in Somatosensory Interval Discrimination Are Temporally Specific But Generalize across Skin Location, Hemisphere, and Modality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the performance characteristics for interval discrimination in the somatosensory system by naive adult humans, defined the normal capacities for improvement in somatoensory interval discrimination, and the extent of generalization of interval discrimination learning.

Stimulus-specific neuronal oscillations in orientation columns of cat visual cortex

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that local neuronal populations in the visual cortex engage in stimulus-specific synchronous oscillations resulting from an intracortical mechanism, and may provide a general mechanism by which activity patterns in spatially separate regions of the cortex are temporally coordinated.

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.

Dynamic pattern generation in behavioral and neural systems

TL;DR: The central mathematical concepts of self-organization in nonequilibrium systems are used to show how a large number of empirically observed features of temporal patterns can be mapped onto simple low-dimensional dynamical laws that are derivable from lower levels of description.
