General Overview of TIMELY

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

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Main objectives
To create the first multidisciplinary network on Time Perception (TP)
To advance the understanding of the processes underlying TP
by exploring the relevant theoretical, behavioral, neurobiological and clinical perspectives

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Scientific work plan

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Defining & measuring time
The operational definition of time
If there is no “common language” then what are we measuring?
Types and reliability of existing measurement methodologies

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Defining & measuring time Expected outcomes:
Conceptual analysis of time & review of the operational definitions of the various aspects of TP for a common-interdisciplinary grounding of the concept of time
Existing methodologies used for measuring TP & new models for TP measurement
Tools for the assessment of timing performance in adults & children
Online source for measurement standards & data exchange
Time standards in user interface design in HCI application domains

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Variability in TP
TP is characterized by great inter- and intra-participant variability. Why?
What is the developmental time course of TP?
The representations of time as defined by culture, language, and gesture

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Variability in TP Expected outcomes:
Biological/cognitive factors promoting TP differences within & across individuals
Comparing TP developmentally
Time metaphors in language/gesture cross-culturally
Static vs. dynamic ideas of time based on temporal logic
TP questionnaires for cross-cultural comparisons & other large epidemiological studies
Linguistic database with multicultural time expressions
Knowledge-based system able to recognize temporal expressions

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Extending to complex stimuli
Large body of investigations of TP using low-informational content stimuli
How can we extend TP to practical applications without the use of complex stimuli/events?

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Extending to complex stimuli Expected outcomes:
Analysis & review of the problems associated with complex stimulus use in TP
Standardized methodology/analysis for measuring TP for complex stimuli
Strategies for using current/future results for the development of real-world applications
Standardized methodology for generating complex stimuli & system requirements for time-controlled stimulus presentation
Stimulus database

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Neural correlates of TP
Further investigation of the specific human and animal brain structures involved in the perception of time
Technologies and methodologies for identifying structures involved in TP
The role of TP in various disorders and impairments

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY Neural correlates of TP Expected outcomes:
Current state-of-the-art in neuroimaging & definition of the techniques (or fusion) appropriate for TP
Links between TP & well-known neural networks underlying attention, memory, language, space perception and action
Time distortions in various mental & developmental disorders & specific brain-injuries
Neurorehabilitation techniques & standardized TP tasks for inclusion in diagnostic neuropsychological batteries

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY The consortium
Senior and junior scientists from:

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY The consortium
Gender balance
Open-network throughout project’s duration

Georgios Papadelis Time In MEntaL activitY 4-year time plan
