Abstract
This chapter summarizes two neurological aspects of time perception: in children and neurological localization on the one hand, including Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases in their influence on time perception, and also the impact of handedness on temporal processing on the other. We should also mention the fMRI-supported research [19] on neural emotional responses to musical performance and its expressivity. This research is “consistent with the idea that music performance evokes an emotional response through a form of empathy that is based, at least in part, on the perception of movement and on violations of pulse-based temporal expectancies.” The movement-related perception emphasizes the temporal character of emotional response to music. This short chapter is not a comprehensive overview of human time perception with respect to its theories in neurology and brain research. Our selection of a few relevant references among a large set of publications is driven by the background of this book’s approach: contributions to our thesis that the reification of time perception is strongly correlated to gestural categories.
