Functional and Neural Mechanisms of Interval Timing

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"[A] thorough and richly informative book. ... Throughout the volume, the writing style gives a clear, even, concise, expository flow with an excellent balance of detailed methodology and findings of each study, with helpful interpretations of their juxtapositions to other studies. For the student in the field, this is a treasure trove. For clinicians or researchers in other areas who want a reference that will guide an understanding of this timely field, this will be invaluable and highly recommended."

"Each chapter includes an introduction to topic matter, data, discussion, and is referenced for additional reading which makes this a reader friendly book. ... [A] good start for those who are interested in understanding how to modulate behavior related to timing events, and external and internal stimuli. ... [The book] is well organized and reader friendly, particularly for those who have some knowledge in psychology and neurobiology."

"Warren Meck, the editor, straddles both the human/nonhuman and brain/behaviour divides. He is in an ideal position to edit such a volume. Altogether, the collection constitutes a comprehensive and readable package on recent developments on this topic. ... The editorial work on the book is superb. The chapters read well ... . I recommend this volume as an excellent, comprehensive state-of-the-art compendium on interval timing."

"Never before has such a large array of phenomena and methods been put together with such a coherent analysis. It is a remarkable achievement for both unity and synthesis in the domains of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. The book is certainly a major step in giving the field of timing and time perception a theoretical focus of great scientific power."
