“A number of studies show that there is a relation between intelligence and millisecond variability in timed behaviors.” Madison et al (2009) attempted to define the neurological underpinnings of intelligence, or how the brain operates. They wanted to know whether...

In this larger follow-up study, Hembold and colleagues (2007) proved that there is a very strong relationship between higher intelligence (better performance on cognitive and motor tasks) and the ability to rapidly process information (or think fast). They found that...

Here is an interesting study on timing in the brain by Botzung et al (2008). Timing in the brain (or whatscientists refer to as precisely timed neural transmissions or neural oscillations in and between brain regions) is critical for humans to be able to store and...

There is a definite trend we see among individuals who undergo Interactive Metronome® (IM) training, a program that improves timing in the brain or what is known as “temporal processing.” They typically demonstrate improved motor coordination and ability to focus....

Here is a fascinating study in Cortex that looked at the brain under fMRI while listening to rhythmic auditory sounds. Bengtsson et al (2009) found that areas of the brain involved in motor planning and sequencing (or preparing motor sequences) were activated while...

Scalar expectancy theory (SET) is one of the most popular current models of human timing. This article contains one of the simplest explanations of SET that I have seen. Wearden (2008) suggests our brain keeps time via a pacemaker that starts pulsing at regular...
