How noise contributes to time-scale invariance of interval timing

How noise contributes to contrast invariance of orientation tuning in cat visual cortex.

The width of the orientation tuning curves of the spike response of neurons in V1 is invariant to contrast. This property constrains the possible mechanisms underlying orientation selectivity. It has been suggested that noise circumvents the iceberg effect that would prevent contrast invariance in the purely feedforward mechanism. Here we investigate systematically how noise contributes to the ...

Interval Timing and Time-Based Decision Making

As papers often may belong to more than a single category, we apologize if some authors feel they have been “misplaced,” but we tried to maintain equilibrium among the different categories without being unfaithful to the authors’ main message. It has been a great pleasure to be involved in this Research Topic as much progress has been made in exploring the temporal horizons of the mind and brai...

What is all the noise about in interval timing?

Cognitive processes such as decision-making, rate calculation and planning require an accurate estimation of durations in the supra-second range-interval timing. In addition to being accurate, interval timing is scale invariant: the time-estimation errors are proportional to the estimated duration. The origin and mechanisms of this fundamental property are unknown. We discuss the computational ...
