TLDR
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.Abstract:
Suppose someone had to prepare a review article on visual perception, instead of time perception. This individual would probably ask for a series of reviews, with at least one—and probably several—dedicated to color, distance, shape, and motion perception, and maybe to other aspects of visual perception. It would be very difficult to complete the same exercise for time perception since the categories of temporal experiences are not as clearly defined. However, for a reader to understand the scope of a text on time perception, it is essential to develop a representation of what the main research avenues or categories are. The present text should help the reader to grasp the scope of recent literature related to psychological time and time perception. After a brief overview of the various perspectives on what could be meant by psychological time, the review will propose to identify of series of key concepts and empirical findings that should delineate the field of time perception and timing, and will discuss some models of time perception. The article also provides a review of the main recent findings in the field in which a neuroscientific approach to timing is adopted. In this section, the roles of the cerebellum, of the cerebral cortices, and of the basal ganglia in the timing processes are emphasized.

Neural basis of the perception and estimation of time
TL;DR: It is proposed that the interconnections built into this core timing mechanism are designed to provide a form of degeneracy as protection against injury, disease, or age-related decline.

Pathophysiological distortions in time perception and timed performance

TL;DR: These findings are used to evaluate the Striatal Beat Frequency Theory, which is a neurobiological model of interval timing based upon the coincidence detection of oscillatory processes in corticostriatal circuits that can be mapped onto the stages of information processing proposed by Scalar Timing Theory.

Problematic smartphone use and relations with negative affect, fear of missing out, and fear of negative and positive evaluation.
TL;DR: Results demonstrated that FoMO was most strongly related to both problematic smartphone use and social smartphone use relative to negative affect and fears of negative and positive evaluation, and these relations held when controlling for age and gender.

Properties of the Internal Clock: First- and Second-Order Principles of Subjective Time
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent behavioral and neurobiological findings and provides a theoretical framework for considering how changes in the properties of the internal clock impact time perception and other psychological domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The neural basis of temporal processing
TL;DR: It is suggested that, given the intricate link between temporal and spatial information in most sensory and motor tasks, timing and spatial processing are intrinsic properties of neural function, and specialized timing mechanisms such as delay lines, oscillators, or a spectrum of different time constants are not required.

Perception and estimation of time.
TL;DR: There is no relationship between the alpha rhythm and temporal estimations (Adam et al 1971), however, Coffin & Ganz found in the estimation of a 5 sec task a high correlation between the estima tions and the weighted mean frequency of the EEG close to the alpha frequency.

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.

Time, Our Lost Dimension: Toward a New Theory of Perception, Attention, and Memory
TL;DR: A theory of perception and attention that emphasizes the relational nature of perceptual invariants is developed within the context of auditory pattern research, and offers a general framework for understanding diverse phenomena thai range from speech perception and aphasia to sleep, growth, and time eslimation.

Cortico-striatal circuits and interval timing: coincidence detection of oscillatory processes.
Matthew S. Matell,Warren H. Meck +1 more
TL;DR: The neurobiological properties of the basal ganglia, an area known to be necessary for interval timing and motor control, suggests that this set of structures act as a coincidence detector of cortical and thalamic input.
