This monograph reviews cognitive and neuroscience studies of the
relations between timing of both neural and behavioral events and
human experience. The historical roots of these discussions are
traced to the beginning of modern psychology. In the beginning of
experimental psychology in Leibzig, Wundt worked on how elements of
sensation relate to consciousness. In later development of
psychology, the timing of conscious and unconscious processing of
information, the timing of events in learning including language
learning, mental speed and intelligence, and the speed of cognition
vis-a-vis emotion are all crucial questions. Systematic
consideration of neural times is complementary to conventional
neuroscience research, such as the Blue Brain Project focusing on
neural structure. The discussion of neural times in the literature
tends to be fragmented, incidental to whatever is the subject
matter. This book attempts to treat neural times in the whole range
of basic psychological processes more systematically, and shows how
they are germane to the understanding of many cognitive and
behavioral phenomena. Neural times are related to the evolutionary
development of the brain and the human experience. A crucial
dynamic in the interaction of evolutionarily older and newer
regions of the brain depends on timing. The interaction of the
generally faster unconscious processes, including emotions, and
more deliberate processes results in greater variation of
experiences and behaviors which is central to free will and
adaptive for humankind as a whole. This monograph is intended for
senior undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals
interested in an in-depth look at the role of timing of neural and
behavioral processes in affecting human experience. It is not a
textbook as such. It is a complementary resource for students of
cognitive psychology, learning, and evolutionary psychology.
