The way how humans perceive the passage of time is one of the greatest mysteries both in neuroscience and psychology. Compared to other perceptual quantities, relatively little is known about the neural basis and the psychophysical laws of time perception. In this thesis, we seek to contribute to the understanding of human time perception by combining knowledge from neuroscience and psychology into a neurocomputational modeling approach. The first two studies concentrate on timing errors, i.e. the variability in duration estimation, and its relation to physical duration, while the latter two are concerned with the issue of integrating temporal information from different sources into a unique representation of time. Regarding timing errors, it is well known that the variability of durations estimates increases with the duration of the interval to be estimated. In the first study, we present a model based on neuronal networks called synfire chains which explains the functional form of the relation of these errors relative to interval duration ...
