Neural Bases of Timing and Time Perception - Paperback

by Giovanna Mioni (Editor), Simon Grondin (Editor)

Neural Bases of Timing and Time Perception provides a cutting-edge overview of the main contemporary neuroscientific methods and findings in this burgeoning field.

Featuring an international collection of leading researchers, this text reports the main methodological tools available to address important questions in the field, what discoveries these tools led to, and what avenues remain to be explored. The book provides concise descriptions of the latest neuroscientific developments about time perception and temporal processing (for instance, how to use TMS or tDCS to study time judgments); and signposts avenues for clinicians to develop new insights for understanding pathologies (as in the case of schizophrenia, for instance) from a temporal perspective.

This book will appeal to anyone interested in how we perceive the passing of time, whether from an academic or clinical background.
