Foreword
How the brain processes temporal information is a fundamental question
relevant to systems, cellular, computational, and cognitive neuroscience, as
well as to the psychophysics of music and language. During the last and
presentdecades,intervaltiminghasbeenintensivelystudiedinhumansand
animals with a variety of methodological approaches. The present book
brings together the latest information gathered from this exciting area of
research, putting special emphasis on the neural underpinnings of time
processinginbehavinghumanandnon-humanprimates.Thus,Neurobiology
of Interval Timing integrates for the first time the current knowledge of
animal behavior and human cognition related to the passage of time across
different behavioral contexts, including perception and production of time
intervals, as well as rhythmic activities, using different experimental and
theoreticalframeworks.
Thebookiscomposedofchapterswrittenbyleadingexpertsinthefields
of psychophysics, computational neuroscience, functional imaging, system
neurophysiology, and musicology. This cutting-edge scientific work
integrates the current knowledge of the neurobiology of timing behavior,
puttinginperspectivethecurrenthypothesisofhowthebrainquantifiesthe
passageoftimeacrossawidevarietyofcriticalbehaviors.
With Neurobiology of Interval Timing neuroscientists, experimental
psychologists,andethologistswillgainthenecessarybackgroundtounder-
stand the psychophysics and neurophysiology of time, in perceptual and
motor activities that involve rhythms or single intervals. This is a perfect
textbookforgraduatestudentsinthefieldofneurobiologyoftiming.
