THE PARALLEL-CLOCK MODEL: A TOOL FOR QUANTIFICATION OF EXPERIENCED DURATION

摘要

The present article is written from a psychophysicist's perspective. For time perception in general the role played by cognitive factors cannot be neglected. But the greatest challenge for the study of time perception is how time is represented in the brain. Some progress has been made, but the temporal resolving power of today's instruments, such as evoked potentials, PET, NMRi, is insufficient for following the processes of perception of duration in detail.
