A Journey Into a Traveler's Mental Map: Duration, Distance, and Speed Experienced in High‐Speed Trains

Our study investigates how high-speed transport affects humans’ perception of time, space, and speed. We tested 247 passengers traveling on the French Paris-Lyon high-speed train (TGV) who estimated ....

My mother, Avis Cohen, analyzing data on coupled oscillation in 1976; and retiring, having been the founding director of U. of Maryland's Neuroscience & Cognitive Science Program, and helping to bring central pattern generators into robotics. She died today after a long illness and I miss her.

Two great Team Days at the lab last week! 🧠✨ A great mix of scientific discussions, brainstorming, tutorials, and informal chats—fueling both collaboration and new ideas. On the menu: implicit timing, temporal distortions, time in working memory, and cognitive maps! #LabLife

The Per2Con group at CIMeC is actively seeking Post-Docs interested in investigating how newborns 👶 🧒 perceive 👁️👂and learn, using 🧠 HD EEG and eye-tracking. ✨You are motivated to work on neurodevelopment: we would love to hear from you to prepare a grant proposal together (Marie-Curie, Fyssen...)

Time is relative and brains define simultaneity (TWS) and meaning (TWI) through temporal windows.
