Imagine you're enjoying a jazz performance and the groove starts to shift subtly. How do you update your synchronisation? @duniagiomo.bsky.social et al. show that probabilistic associative learning may help us adapt when patterns lack strong rhythmic structure: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Modeling human synchronization to rhythmic patterns with varying statistical regularities
The ability to learn and adapt to new temporal regularities is pivotal to successfully interact with our environment. Research on rhythm processing ha…

How the Human Brain Builds Our Sense of Time
We rarely think about it, but our brain is constantly measuring time on the scale of milliseconds. From being annoyed by a camera flash when someone takes a photo to following the rhythm of music, per...

If you’re curious to learn more about how we build our sense of time, without too many technicalities, here’s a nice read on our recent work! www.earth.com/news/how-the...

How the human brain builds our sense of time
A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across different regions.

New in @plosbiology.org! How do we make sense of very brief events? @gianfrancof.bsky.social, @valeriacentanino.bsky.social & @dbueti.bsky.social show, in a unifying framework, the multiple stages and mechanisms the brain uses to build time perception. 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Neuronal populations across the cortex underlie discrete, categorical, and subjective representations of visual durations
Duration perception involves multiple brain regions, but how unimodal tuning across this network supports subjective timing remains unclear. This study shows that parietal, premotor, and caudal SMA en...

New preprint out from the lab! Using a brilliant behavioural setup and EEG modelling, Nicola Binetti and colleagues show that perceptual time is dynamically recalibrated through goal-directed action. Read here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #TRFpreprint

Our holiday celebrations are especially happy this year, with a new paper out: "Global and Local Deviance Effects in the Processing of Temporal Patterns", about how we detect and keep track of temporal regularities. Congrats to @duniagiomo.bsky.social and the whole team!🎉 doi.org/10.1111/nyas...

Our new paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com , asks a simple question: when two tasks share a common structure, does the brain learn them more efficiently? Surprisingly, this was not the case. Thread below (1/7) rdcu.be/eSwvU
