The document discusses the COST Action TD0904 project called "Time In MEntaL activitY (TIMELY)". The project aims to create the first multidisciplinary network on time perception by exploring theoretical, behavioral, neurobiological and clinical perspectives. It outlines the scientific work plan which includes defining and measuring time, investigating variability in time perception, extending time perception research to complex stimuli, and examining the neural correlates of time perception. The consortium includes senior and junior scientists from various countries studying these topics.
General Overview of TIMELY
- 1. COST Action TD0904: Time In MEntaL activitY (TIMELY) By Argiro Vatakis Theoretical, behavioral, bioimaging & clinical perspectives COST is supported by the EU RTD Framework Programme www.cost.esf.org ESF provides the COST Office through an EC contract ISCH
