Abstract
The journal Timing & Time Perception (Brill Publishers) was initiated with the realization that the study of ‘timing and time perception’ is growing exponentially with interest from fields as diverse as cognitive science, computer science, economics, philosophy, psychology, robotics, and neuroscience … to name just a few. As with any scientific endeavor, once a sufficient empirical base has been established it becomes both necessary and desirable to support such a rapidly growing enterprise with a platform for publishing integrative and multidisciplinary reviews. We are pleased to announce that Timing & Time Perception Reviews (a joint publication of the University of Groningen and Brill Publishers) is being launched as a diamond open-access journal with that goal firmly in mind. Some of the highlights of the inaugural issue are presented in our editorial along with examples of the types of ideas we would like to see developed in future submissions to the journal.

Numerous reports have highlighted the importance of the detection of synchrony in neural oscillations related to both interval timing and consciousness (Allman & Meck, 2012; Matell & Meck, 2004; Smythies, Edelstein, & Ramachandran, 2012, 2014a, b)
2005; Gibbon, Malapani, Dale, & Gallistel, 1997; Smythies, Edelstein, & Ramachandran, 2012, 2014; Wittmann, Burtscher, Fries, & von Steinbüchel, 2004; Yin & Meck, 2014). This high degree of convergence allows these brain areas to serve as coincidence detectors of converging input, and to cooperate in the synchronization of reverberating claustro-cortical and cortico-thalamic-basal ganglia circuits
