Thanks for sharing my article! 😁 If you want to read more about the temporal cognition side here is the article where I coined teMTT and Mind Time www.frontiersin.org/journals/cog... We also have a more mathematical paper with models related to "From probability to plausibility" coming soon!

If you want to read more about the teMTT I coined it in this paper www.frontiersin.org/journals/cog... it's been lovely working with people in risk management, sustainability and finance lately and applying cognitive science to issues! Also have a more maths-based analysis paper coming soon too!

Thanks for sharing my paper! 😁 Yeah, the terminology is a bit different, but it's always fun to see the faces of bank people and company heads when describing mental time travel (MTT) and transpersonal extended mental time travel (teMTT) for the first time! 😆

A future does not have to be probable to matter. Our new paper asks how uncertain climate futures become cognitively and institutionally usable for decision-making, bringing together constructive memory, Mental Time Travel, scenario planning and deep uncertainty. www.frontiersin.org/journals/cog...

Today, we're announcing SAbDab2! In brief: - clean, pre-processed antibody structure data for ML with standardised train/test splits - massive improvements in structure organisation and annotation consistency - support for VNARs and antibody construct annotation - more structures than ever before

Sharing a quick visual overview from my January open-access review in Frontiers in Cognition on temporal cognition, framed through Mental Time Travel: Time in mind: a multidisciplinary review on temporal perception, cognition, and memory www.frontiersin.org/journals/cog...

allow temporal thought to extend beyond the individual, enabling people to reconstruct pasts that are not their own and to imagine futures assembled from collective knowledge, norms, and possibilities, including those not directly anchored to immediate needs or present circumstances.

Transpersonal extended mental time travel (teMTT) captures a specifically human extension of mental time travel in which shared representations (language, narratives, cultural practices, and institutions)...

“Mind time” describes the subjective and context-sensitive experience of time as it is constructed through the interaction of attention, emotion, perception, and memory, shaping how events are mentally organised and how time feels in everyday life.

Jeffery Pendleton @jefferypendleton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

To connect these ideas, we introduce two integrative concepts.

Jeffery Pendleton @jefferypendleton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

We also take a comparative perspective, drawing on findings from animals including corvids (the crow family) and cephalopods (like cuttlefish and octopuses) , to ask which elements of temporal cognition may reflect shared or convergent evolutionary pressures rather than being uniquely human.

It is also patterned by language and culture, and increasingly by technologies that externalise time (clocks, calendars, and digital platforms), sometimes aligning with our internal “event time” and sometimes pulling against it.

Jeffery Pendleton @jefferypendleton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

One important implication covered is that human temporal cognition is not shaped by brains alone.

100

Jeffery Pendleton @jefferypendleton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

From that foundation, we connect evidence across levels of explanation, from neural systems supporting temporal representation to the ways time perception/experience is structured by attention, emotion, and everyday context.

Jeffery Pendleton @jefferypendleton.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

We take Mental Time Travel as a central framework, the capacity to reconstruct past experiences and simulate possible futures, and argue that memory did not evolve as a mental faculty for perfect recall, but rather for constructive, reconstructive future-oriented projection.

Co-authored with Professor Nicola Clayton, my PhD supervisor at the University of Cambridge, this review brings together work across psychology, cognitive neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology, and comparative cognition to address a deceptively simple question: how do minds conceive of time?
