Andre M. Cravo completed his undergraduate degree in psychology in 2005 at University of São Paulo and his Ph.D. in the same University in 2012, with an internship at the University of Oxford. From 2011 to 2012 he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Institute of Radiology, FMUSP. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Center for Mathematics, Computation and Cognition at Universidade Federal do ABC. He has experience in Neuroscience and Cognition, with emphasis in eletroencefalography and psychophysics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Time is a central determinant of our interaction with the environment. It allows organisms to keep track of what is happening when in the world around them, as well as to them. Our ability to process time is a multi-faceted: On the one hand, we can track the time of occurrence of one event with respect to another; we can judge, for example, whether lightning preceded or followed thunder,…
Humans and nonhuman animals are able to estimate time intervals of different durations. Intervals from hundreds of milliseconds to seconds are especially important for sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. Although there are a number of theoretical models to explain how temporal processing takes place on this scale, the mechanisms underlying this processing are still largely unknown. O…
The ability to process time on the scale of milliseconds and seconds is essential for behaviour. A growing number of studies have started to focus on brain dynamics as a mechanism for temporal encoding. Although there is growing evidence in favour of this view from computational and in vitro studies, there is still a lack of results from experiments in humans. We show that high-dimensiona…

Two essential processes for the interaction between humans and their environment are voluntary actions and temporal preparation (or temporal expectation). Individuals navigate in their environment through voluntary actions and interact with the effects of those actions. At the same time, they build expectations about the stimuli with which they are presented, including expectations about …
The context in which we perform an action influences how we perceive and act on a particular stimulus. One known effect of how context affects behavior is the serial dependence, in which behaviour in previous trials affects performance in current trials, for instance in visuomotor integration and temporal processing tasks. The underlying mechanism that makes this influence possible is not…
To interact with our environment, we constantly use temporal information. Human and non-human animals are able to estimate time intervals at different time scales. The scale from a few hundred milliseconds to seconds is especially critical for sensory and motor processing, learning, and other cognitive functions. However, there is still no consensus on the underlying neural mechanisms of …
Time perception is one of the most important skills for living beings and is crucial for the survival of various species. Two of the main skills related to time perception are interval timing (the ability to measure the duration between two events) and occurrence timing (the ability to precise a time when a particular event occurred). Although these are essential abilities, we know that t…
The nature of our perceptions and interactions with the world is inherently associated with the passing of time. Highly refined mechanisms for temporal processing enable the discrimination and learning of time patterns at different scales of complexity. However, even the most fundamental principles underlying these mechanisms are still largely unknown. A central point consists on elucidat…
Attention is a fundamental process to optimize the computational capacity of a biological system. Knowing when and where something will happen facilitates the stimuli processing. In some situations, however, predictive mechanisms can also be used to inhibit responses, such as the attempting to ignore certain sound or visual stimulation. In both cases, we use anticipatory information, but …

Time perception is an essential skill for living beings. Two of the primary skills related to time perception are interval timing (the ability to measure the duration between two events) and occurrence timing (the ability to precise a time when a particular event occurred). Although these are essential abilities, we know that they are subject to bias and distortion. Haggard et al. (2002) …
Attention is fundamental to optimize the computational capacity of a biological system. Several studies have shown that humans and non-humans animals process targets more efficiently when they are presented at expected moments. A possible mechanism for such facilitation is the pre-activation of receptive fields at the relevant moments. However, the nature of this pre-activation remains la…
Incoming sensorial information seems to us to be processed and perceived in a continuous manner. However, there are theories that will oppose to this continuity and argue that perception is discrete, made up of small temporal intervals. Among others, the perception of causality in the launching effect may be explained by discrete perception, with movement onsets taking place in the same o…
