Two systems for temporal preparation

Right frontal patients can USE 350-ms and 1350-ms rhythms

but, can they PERCEIVE these same interval durations?

Chronotype: Individual Differences in Circadian Rhythms

!"#$%&#'&"()&*+,,,-&

How can we know our Chronotype?

What time would you wake up if you were free to plan your day?

What time at night you feel tired and feel the need to go to bed?

What time of day you feel best?

Horne and Östberg, 1976 (Adan & Almirall, 1991)

Circadian rhythms influence behavioural performance in attention demanding tasks

Conclusion

Rhythms influence behaviour at multiple time scales
