Time maps: How our brain perceives time

(Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati) What happens in our brain when we listen to the rhythmic pace of a song or when, at the traffic light, the light is red and we are trembling awaiting the green?

The study shows that distinct portions of the SMA respond preferentially to different durations.
