Neuromimetic model of interval timing

Neuromimetic models of time processing mechanisms in the sub-second to minute range are mainly focussed on the mean and variance properties of time estimation (scalarity) but offer no appropriate account of attention manipulations: a systematic underestimation of time with decreasing levels of attention. Our model is able to reproduce the scalarity and attentional effects, and fits both behavioral and brain imaging data.
