Tempo rubato : animacy speeds up time in the brain.

<h4>Background</h4>How do we estimate time when watching an action? The idea that events are timed by a centralized clock has recently been called into question in favour of distributed, specialized mechanisms. Here we provide evidence for a critical specialization: animate and inanimate...
