How are rhythm and our sense of time constructed in the human mind? 

About the research

Our aim is to expand current understanding of how rhythm and our sense of time are constructed in the human mind. We study the influence of rhythm and time on perception, attention and effort, imagery and illusions, prediction and cognitive control processes across sensory modalities.

Methods

Utilizing a broad range of methods, including behavioral/cognitive experiments and physiological recordings such as eye-tracking, pupillometry, MRI/fMRI, scalp- and intracranial EEG, we can reveal the effects of rhythmic and temporal features as well as the neurocognitive mechanisms involved. Our experiments typically involve healthy participants, but we also focus on special populations, like musicians, synaesthetes, and patients with neurological or neuropsychiatric disorders.
