Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Activation during a Time Production Task: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Figure 1

Scalar expectancy theory (SET) applied to the time production task. In SET, a pacemaker emits pulses to an accumulator, and the number of pulses is transferred to the working memory by way of an accumulator. The corresponding number of pulses is stored in the working memory and compared with that of the reference intervals stored in reference memory. When the numbers of pulses match, the participant responds.
