CNV and time estimation.

We investigated the hypothesis that the development and resolution of CNV waves may, in part at least, reflect time estimation processes in the nervous system. Specifically, we postulated that subjects with a high degree of accuracy in time estimation tasks will show a fast resolution of the negativity following the imperative stimulus (S2). The results showed that, consistent with the hypothesis, accurate estimators, as a group, show CNVs with faster resolution of negativity after S2. In addition, they have CNVs of lower amplitude and show a slower rise time to peak negativity than subjects with poor time estimation abilities.
