    The left hemisphere plays a dominant role in time perception, showing continuous activity and lower brainwave frequencies during accurate time estimation tasks. This suggests specialized left-hemisphere processing for temporal information.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Cerebral hemispheres process information differently, with the left hemisphere linked to symbolic-logic and cognitive functions.
    • Time perception is a complex cognitive process potentially involving specialized neural mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of the left cerebral hemisphere in time perception using electroencephalography (EEG).
    • To analyze EEG activity (frequency and alpha ratio) during a visuomotor task involving time interval learning and estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Bilateral occipito-central EEG was recorded from healthy, right-handed subjects performing a visuomotor monitoring task.
    • The task involved learning a 10-second interval, reaction time measurement, and interval length estimation.

  • EEG frequency and alpha ratio were analyzed pre- and post-motor response, with a reversal group using non-dominant hand responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Left hemisphere activity remained continuous during interval learning and accurate time estimation.
    • Optimal reaction times and time estimations correlated with lower left-hemisphere frequency and alpha ratio compared to the right.
    • Increased right-hemisphere activity in these parameters was associated with poorer performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The left cerebral hemisphere predominantly participates in time processing, as indicated by EEG measurements.
    • Specific EEG patterns (lower frequency, lower alpha ratio) in the left hemisphere are linked to accurate time perception.
    • Hemispheric lateralization plays a significant role in cognitive functions like time perception.
