How the human brain builds our sense of time A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across different regions.

If you’re curious to learn more about how we build our sense of time, without too many technicalities, here’s a nice read on our recent work!

Group-level distributions of duration preferences. Each violin plot shows the vertex-wise distribution of duration preferences at group level across streams (top) and ROIs (bottom). Streams and ROIs are ordered from occipital to frontal and from dorsal to ventral. Violins are color-coded according to functional streams: green for VV, blue for LV, violet for IPS, purple for IP, red for mot-som, brown for SMA, orange for PM, ochre for AI, yellow for IF. The left side of the violins (darker shades) represents the left hemisphere, while the right side (lighter shades) represents the right hemisphere. Dots indicate the median of each distribution, thick lines represent the interquartile range. The kernel density estimate of each distribution was computed using a 10% bandwidth.

How does the #brain support #perception of #duration? @valeriacentanino.bsky.social @gianfrancof.bsky.social @dbueti.bsky.social show that parietal, premotor & caudal SMA encode distinct durations, while frontal regions encode categorical, mean‑centered durations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4sObgRu

Neuronal populations across the cortex underlie discrete, categorical, and subjective representations of visual durations Duration perception involves multiple brain regions, but how unimodal tuning across this network supports subjective timing remains unclear. This study shows that parietal, premotor, and caudal SMA en...

New in @plosbiology.org!

How do we make sense of very brief events?

@gianfrancof.bsky.social, @valeriacentanino.bsky.social & @dbueti.bsky.social show, in a unifying framework, the multiple stages and mechanisms the brain uses to build time perception.

*** New paper just out! ***

Francesca Bellotti and @dbueti.bsky.social take a closer look at how speed and time interact when we judge visual stimuli.

New preprint out from the lab!

Using a brilliant behavioural setup and EEG modelling, Nicola Binetti and colleagues show that perceptual time is dynamically recalibrated through goal-directed action.

Our holiday celebrations are especially happy this year, with a new paper out: "Global and Local Deviance Effects in the Processing of Temporal Patterns", about how we detect and keep track of temporal regularities.

Congrats to @duniagiomo.bsky.social and the whole team!🎉
