CEREBELLAR FUNCTIONS IN TWO TYPES OF PERCEPTUAL TIMING WERE ASSESSED: the absolute (duration-based) timing of single intervals and the relative (beat-based) timing of rhythmic sequences. Continuous transcranial magnetic theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) was applied over the medial cerebellum and performance was measured adaptively before and after stimulation. A large and significant effect was fo...

Accurate timing is an integral aspect of sensory and motor processes such as the perception of speech and music and the execution of skilled movement. Neuropsychological studies of time perception in patient groups and functional neuroimaging studies of timing in normal participants suggest common neural substrates for perceptual and motor timing. A timing system is implicated in core regions o...

Despite the recent surge of interest in studying the evolution of development, surprisingly little work has been done to investigate the phylogenetic signal in developmental characters. Yet, both the potential usefulness of developmental characters in phylogenetic reconstruction and the validity of inferences on the evolution of developmental characters depend on the presence of such a phylogen...

The timing service of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is being steadily improved. Generally, this fact traces back to increasing accuracy of the provided ephemeris data, improvements in Precise Point Positioning, continuous refinement of time transfer techniques, the utilization of modern signals, the use of wider bandwidth, and a growing number of available satellites—the latter par...

We have monitored the phase of the main X-ray pulse of the Crab pulsar with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) for almost eight years, since the start of the mission in January 1996. The absolute time of RXTE’s clock is sufficiently accurate to allow this phase to be compared directly with the radio profile. Our monitoring observations of the pulsar took place bi-weekly (during the periods ...

We treat theory and application of timed process algebra. We focus on a variant that uses explicit termination and action prefixing. This variant has some advantages over other variants. We concentrate on relative timing, but the treatment of absolute timing is similar. We treat both discrete and dense timing. We build up the theory incrementally. The different algebras are interrelated by embe...
