| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we conducted a series of investigations focusing on the localization of the neural representation of duration information in the brain. As a result, we suggested the existence of neural populations in the parietal and frontal lobes that represent duration information, particularly highlighting that the activity in the right inferior parietal lobule is associated with the estimation accuracy of duration. Furthermore, our psychophysical experiments suggested that the neural representations of filled and empty intervals are not identical and could be represented by different neural populations. We have also initiated studies on the neural representation of temporal information given by auditory stimuli and plan to continue this research. These findings imply the possibility that the neural representation of duration information may vary depending on the brain region and the type of stimuli.
