Human Time Perception (2009-2013)
Abstract
How do humans tell if one event has happened before, after, or at the same time as another? How do we determine for how long an event has persisted? As of yet, our understanding of such analyses in the human brain is rudimentary. This project will explore temporal distortion phenomena to determine how and where durations, temporal order and coincidence are encoded in the human brain building on recent breakthroughs in which Dr. Arnold has been instrumental. Project results will have substantial theoretical significance, providing new insights into the neural mechanisms of time perception that are fundamental too daily life.
