Underestimation of time perception after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) may be important in time perception in humans. In the present study, the authors demonstrate that a virtual lesion of the rDLPFC by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) leads to underestimation of time perception for brief intervals (lasting a few seconds) in working memory.
