Abstract
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.
