Produktbeschreibung

This critically praised work brings the contrasting views of the behavior-biology divide into greater focus to promote a concerted view of timing and time perception. Written by the foremost experts, Functional and Neural Mechanisms of Interval Timing integrates the fields of time quantum and psychophysics, rhythmic performance and synchronization through the linkage of time as information in brain and behavior. It describes the basic mathematical and psychological aspects of scalar timing theory and mode-control models of counting and timing, examines the roles of attention and memory in interval timing, and reviews cortical and subcortical contributions to timing and time perception .
