This paper argues for analyses of the changing conditions of collective action on the international stage using the method of incorporating comparisons.

Si...

Eleven Dutch secondary school children sang and spoke the lyrics of a number of popular English songs. Their pronunciation accuracy was rated significantly higher in the singing mode by a group of native speakers. Additional perception scores showed that the decrease in Dutch-accentedness must be due to the fact that their foreign accent could not be signaled in the f0 and segment durations dur...

Accumulating evidence from pharmacology, neuroimaging, and genetics indicates that striatal dopamine influences time perception [1-5]. Despite these converging results, it is not known whether endogenous variations in dopamine underlie transient fluctuations in our perception of time. Here, we exploited the finding that striatal dopamine release is associated with an increase in spontaneous eye...
