“…In addition, using f MRI has revealed that the parietal cortex, which acts as an interface between sensory and motor processes, is involved in translating temporal information into action . Finally, evidence for the role of the parietal cortex-the right hemisphere-in the estimation of long intervals was also obtained with patients with unilateral neglect (Danckert et al, 2007), whereas N'Diaye, Ragot, Garnero, and Pouthas (2004) reported that there is a potential contribution for both frontal and parietal cortices.…”

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. Time Perception Beyond the Focus of the Present ReviewThere is a wide range of research on psychological time and temporal processing, mainly because of the ubiquity of time in behavior and the relevance of a temporal perspective in regard to living organisms and events. There is a vast literature in social psychology as to how behavior is shaped by time (see Perret-Clermont, 2005, or Strathman & Joireman, 2005, which includes topics such as time management, time perspective, and time orientation, or the relative value of past and future (Caruso, Gilbert, & Wilson, 2008;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Even within the scope of experimental psychology, some studies have emphasized how the temporal structure of events determines our perception of the world (see the second part of Helfrich, 2003).Some authors who are interested in consciousness have adopted a phenomenological perspective on time (see the first part of Buccheri, Saniga, & Stuckey, 2003). Indeed, time and consciousness have become more closely linked recently with the development of a new area of research on the concept of chronesthesia (awareness of subjective time; Tulving, 2002), as opposed to noetic consciousness (awareness of the world) or autonoetic consciousness (awareness of self in time). Interestingly, there is now evidence that even animals can anticipate the future (Roberts, 2008).There are many psychological time studies related in various ways to memory processes (Block & Zakay, 2008). One research avenue deals with the chronology of events in our lives, particularly the memory of the order of occurrence of these events (Damasio, 2002;Friedman, 1993 The aim of the present review article is to guide the reader through portions of the human time per...

“…A further issue worthy of investigation could be to find out whether the perception of the duration of auditory and tactile stimuli is prone to crossmodal distortion effects, analogous to what has been found between auditory and visual stimuli (e.g., Chen & Yeh, 2009;van Wassenhove et al, 2008). Moreover, the potential implementation of the experimental findings in the clinical field, such as in sensory substitution (e.g., Minagawa, Ohnishi, & Sugie, 1996), in the diagnosis (e.g., Danckert et al, 2007;Davalos, Kisley, & Ross, 2002;Gilden & Marusich, 2009;Smith, Harper, Gittings, & Abernethy, 2007), or in the treatment (Powers, Hillock, & Wallace, 2009;Thaut, 2005;Vargas & Yu, 2008) of psychiatric and neurological diseases, would be an interesting issue to be investigated in future studies.…”

Audiotactile interactions in temporal perception

In the present review, we focus on how commonalities in the ontogenetic development of the auditory and tactile sensory systems may inform the interplay between these signals in the temporal domain. In particular, we describe the results of behavioral studies that have investigated temporal resolution (in temporal order, synchrony/asynchrony, and simultaneity judgment tasks), as well as temporal numerosity perception, and similarities in the perception of frequency across touch and hearing. The evidence reviewed here highlights features of audiotactile temporal perception that are distinctive from those seen for other pairings of sensory modalities. For instance, audiotactile interactions are characterized in certain tasks (e.g., temporal numerosity judgments) by a more balanced reciprocal influence than are other modality pairings. Moreover, relative spatial position plays a different role in the temporal order and temporal recalibration processes for audiotactile stimulus pairings than for other modality pairings. The effect exerted by both the spatial arrangement of stimuli and attention on temporal order judgments is described. Moreover, a number of audiotactile interactions occurring during sensory-motor synchronization are highlighted. We also look at the audiotactile perception of rhythm and how it may be affected by musical training. The differences emerging from this body of research highlight the need for more extensive investigation into audiotactile temporal interactions. We conclude with a brief overview of some of the key issues deserving of further research in this area.Keywords Auditory . Tactile . Temporal . Frequency . Audiotactile . Crossmodal similarities . Mechanoreception . MultisensoryThe boundaries between hearing and touch: the foundation of an analogyWe continuously interact with environments that provide a large amount of multisensory information to our various senses. Researchers have now convincingly demonstrated that the inputs delivered by the different sensory channels tend to be bound together by the brain (see the section Research on hearing and touch: a multisensory perspective for a fuller discussion of this topic). Unlike the audiovisual and visuotactile sensory pairings, those interactions taking place at both the neuronal and behavioral level between audition and touch have, to date, been explored in far less detail (see Kitagawa & Spence, 2006;Soto-Faraco & Deco, 2009, for reviews of the extant literature). The paucity of research covering this modality pairing is rather surprising when one considers the wide range of everyday situations in which we experience-even though often in subtle and unconscious ways-the interplay between these two senses. Examples include perceiving the "auditory" buzzing and the itchy "tactile" sensation of an insect landing on the back of our neck; reaching for a mobile phone ringing and vibrating in our pocket. What is common to these situations is the exclusive-or, at the very least, predominant-reliance on cues provided by the

“…Our data indicate that such processes can also be associated with symbolic numbers, in line with lesion data showing that right TPJ lesions affect attention-related processes. These processes, albeit not always in the context of TPJ lesions, are known to interfere with number ( Vuilleumier, Ortigue, & Brugger, 2004) or with continuous quantity manipulation (Danckert et al, 2007).…”

Abstract■ How do our abilities to process number and other continuous quantities such as time and space relate to each other? Recent evidence suggests that these abilities share common magnitude processing and neural resources, although other findings also highlight the role of dimension-specific processes. To further characterize the relation between number, time, and space, we first examined them in a population with a developmental numerical dysfunction (developmental dyscalculia) and then assessed the extent to which these abilities correlated both behaviorally and anatomically in numerically normal participants. We found that (1) participants with dyscalculia showed preserved continuous quantity processing and (2) in numerically normal adults, numerical and continuous quantity abilities were at least partially dissociated both behaviorally and anatomically. Specifically, gray matter volume correlated with both measures of numerical and continuous quantity processing in the right TPJ; in contrast, individual differences in number proficiency were associated with gray matter volume in numberspecific cortical regions in the right parietal lobe. Together, our new converging evidence of selective numerical impairment and of number-specific brain areas at least partially distinct from common magnitude areas suggests that the human brain is equipped with different ways of quantifying the outside world. ■
