Typesetting:Camera-readybyauthor,dataconversionbyScientificPublishingServices,Chennai,India Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface The idea of creating a multidisciplinary network of scientists working on time and time perception was entertained in 2007, was formulated as a proposal in 2008,andwasrealizedin2009,whenfundedbythe EuropeanCOST(European Cooperation in Science and Technology; www.cost.eu) agency under the title “TD0904: Time In MEntaL activitY: theoretical, behavioral, bioimaging, and clinical perspectives (TIMELY)”(www.timely-cost.eu).TIMELYjustcompleted its first year of existence bringing together over 150 junior and senior scientists from 20 different countries. This volumeis the productofthe firstmeetingofthe TIMELYnetworkthat took place in Athens, Greece, during October 7–8, 2010. This 2-day interna- tionalworkshoponthe“MultidisciplinaryAspectsofTimeandTimePerception” broughttogetherscientistsfromdifferentdisciplinestopresenttheirworkontime and its percept with the ultimate goal of setting the stage for communication among the different laboratories and foster future collaborations. Thereaderofthisvolumewillgetatasteofsomeofthemajorresearchareas of time perception, different views on temporal experiences, different method- ologies used for measuring one’s time percept, and the interaction/relationship of time with other cognitive processes. The collection of papers in this volume coverstopics under the four mainthemes ofTIMELY:(Note that papersin this volumefallundertwoormoreofthethemesbelow,thusnothemecategorization is adopted.) A. Conceptualanalysisandmeasurementoftime:Currently,thereisnocommon code of communication as to the different aspects of time perception. A debatable definition also leads to problematic measurement methodologies. Reaching an agreement regarding the conceptual analysis of time will also lead to more efficient and accurate measures of the human and animal time perception. B. Exploringfactors associatedwithtimeperception variability:Highvariability in time perception has been reported within and between individuals. This variability represents a barrier in understanding time perception. Thus, a closeexaminationofvariouscognitive/biologicalprocessesinrelationtotime is needed. C. Extending time research to ecologically valid stimuli and real-world appli- cations: The majority of time perception research has focused on simple stimuli, necessitating the use of more informationally rich stimuli (e.g., mu- sic, action) for advancing time perception researchand, thus, extending the results to real-worldapplications. VI Preface D. Uncovering theneural correlates of time perception:Advancesinneuroimag- ing allow observation of the brain-in-action. It is necessary to identify the techniquesappropriateforstudyingtimeperceptioninbothanimalsandhu- mans and for examiningtime distortionsin specific neurological/psychiatric conditions and other impairments. The TIMELY network and the volume you are now holding was funded and supportedbyCOSTandthepeopleworkingfortheISCH(Individuals,Societies, Cultures,andHealth)domain.IwouldliketothankAnnaEspositoforinitiating contact with publishers and Alfred Hofmann for giving us the opportunity to publishthis volumewithSpringer.Iamgratefultothe co-editorsofthis volume (Anna Esposito, Maria Giagkou, Fred Cummins, and Georgios Papadelis) for their patience and detailed work with all the author contributions. I also thank all the authors that contributed to this volume and all the members of the TD0904 International Scientific Committee who provided insight and helpful recommendations as to the improvement of the papers that are now printed in this volume. Additionally, I am thankful to the School of Architecture for hosting the TIMELY meeting in Athens and G. Papadelis, F. Cummins, and M.Giagkouforassistingmewithalltheorganizationaldetails.Myspecialthanks goes to Thanos Fouloulis for the technical support and his willingness to realize allmyvisions(TIMELYwebsite,livebroadcastingoftalks,videorecordingetc.) andmystudentsforalwaysbeingthere(ElizaBakou,KonstantinaMargiotoudi, Stamatis Paraskevas, and Ifigenia Pasiou). Finally, a warm thank you goes to all the members of TIMELY that were willing to support this network and that responded to all my calls with excitement and encouragement.
