We feel that we perceive events in the environment as they unfold in real-time. However, this
intuitive view of perception is impossible to implement in the nervous system due to …

How long did it take you to read this sentence? Chances are your response is a ball park
estimate and its value depends on how fast you have scanned the text, how prepared you …

Meta-awareness refers to the capacity to explicitly notice the current content of
consciousness and has been identified as a key component for the successful control of …

In this paper, we suggest that cortical anatomy recapitulates the temporal hierarchy that is
inherent in the dynamics of environmental states. Many aspects of brain function can be …

In ordinary conscious experience, consciousness of time seems commonplace. For
example, we are often aware of changes, movements, and successions unfolding over brief …

The nervous system is sensitive to statistical regularities of the external world and forms
internal models of these regularities to predict environmental dynamics. Given the inherently …

Judgment of the location of a previously viewed moving or stationary target is often
displaced in the direction of implied gravitational attraction, and this has been referred to as …

Because neural processing takes time, the brain only has delayed access to sensory
information. When localising moving objects this is problematic, as an object will have …

Time plays a significant role in science and everyday life. Despite being experienced as a
continuous flow, computational models of consciousness are typically restricted to a …
