Timing is critical to most forms of learning, behavior, and sensory-motor processing.
Converging evidence supports the notion that, precisely because of its importance across a …

Electroreception, the capacity to detect external underwater electric fields with specialised
receptors, is a phylogenetically widespread sensory modality in fishes and amphibians. In …

" Beautifully written, eloquently reasoned… Mr. Buonomano takes us off and running on an
edifying scientific journey."—Carol Tavris, Wall Street Journal In Your Brain Is a Time …

The discrimination and production of temporal patterns on the scale of hundreds of
milliseconds are critical to sensory and motor processing. Indeed, most complex behaviours …

Corollary discharge is an important brain function that allows animals to distinguish external
from self-generated signals, which is critical to sensorimotor coordination. Since discovery of …

Sensory stimuli evoke neural activity that evolves over time. What features of these
spatiotemporal responses allow the robust encoding of stimulus identity in a multistimulus …

The ability to detect time intervals and temporal patterns is critical to some of the most
fundamental computations the brain performs, including the ability to communicate and …

One of the most remarkable examples of convergent evolution among vertebrates is
illustrated by the independent origins of an active electric sense in South American and …

Communication can contribute to the evolution of biodiversity by promoting speciation and
reinforcing reproductive isolation between existing species. The evolution of species …

Predator detection is key to animal's survival. Superior colliculus (SC) orchestrates the
animal's innate defensive responses to visually detected threats, but how threat information …
