Abstract Multiple systems in the brain track the passage of time and can adapt their activity to temporal requirements (Paton & Buonomano, 2018). While the neural implementation of timing varies widely between neural substrates and behavioral tasks, at the algorithmic level many of these behaviors can be described as bounded accumulation (Balci & Simen, 2024).

Abstract Interval timing, the ability of animals to estimate the passage of time, is thought to involve diverse neural processes rather than a single central "clock" (Paton & Buonomano, 2018). Each of the different processes engaged in interval timing follows a different dynamic path, according to its specific function.

Method details Three experiments are included in this report. The basic structure of the experiments was identical and therefore, for most, methods and task instructions are shared unless otherwise specified. Experiments 1 and 3 - Visual stimuli 35 Kleiner M.
