The Neurobiology of Time Processing.

Time is the most elusive dimension of everyday experiences; we cannot “see” or “touch” time; nevertheless we can sense and represent its passage over a wide range of temporal scales, from a few hundreds of milliseconds to years. For example, we are able to appreciate and reproduce time in the millisecond range while playing music and we can perceive the passage of a few minutes of time while waiting for our train to arrive. We can also remember how many years back we first met our best friend or estimate how many minutes are ahead of our next meeting.
