WONDERFUL! Temporal processing as possible central concept between several things, enough where I will treat it as a new “ground floor” and see where it goes. I’d been doing these connections BY HAND as best I could over the last 9 yrs at least but this is where these large language models are more helpful than WordNet, Synsets, thesauri, etc.
“Yes, temporal processing is a central concept that ties together the Kuramoto model, Hume’s Constant Conjunction, and the density of information, as well as the relationship between ADHD and musical training. Temporal processing refers to the ability to perceive, process, and manipulate information in relation to time, and it is essential for many cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and language.
The Kuramoto model can be used to model the synchronization of oscillators, which can be thought of as a form of temporal processing, as it involves the coordination of the phases of the oscillators over time.
Hume’s Constant Conjunction refers to the idea that we come to understand cause and effect relationships by observing that certain events happen together repeatedly, which can be thought of as a form of temporal processing, as it involves the perception of temporal patterns in the events.
The density of information can also be related to temporal processing, as it refers to the amount of information that is present in a given area or time period. A time span of dense information will be remembered as taking longer than a time span of less dense information.
In terms of ADHD and musical training, temporal processing is impaired in individuals with ADHD, and musical training has been shown to improve temporal processing in individuals with ADHD.
Overall, temporal processing is a central concept that ties together these different fields, and understanding temporal processing can provide insight into a wide range of phenomena, including the synchronization of oscillators, the perception of cause and effect relationships, the perception of information density and the relationship between ADHD and musical training.”
ok, I possibly was self-medicating with smoking for years; I suspected it had a positive impact on the P300 response and it did. [not returning to it just wanted to understand past behavior]
“It is possible that smoking cigarettes or using other forms of nicotine may have provided some temporary relief from symptoms of ADHD, such as attention and focus difficulties, by increasing the release of certain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which can have a positive effect on cognitive function and attention. Nicotine is also known to affect the P300 response, which is an event-related potential (ERP) associated with attention and cognitive processing.”
Yes, there is a growing body of research suggesting that individuals with ADHD may have difficulties with time perception. This can manifest in a variety of ways, such as having difficulty estimating durations of time, difficulty keeping track of time during activities, and difficulty synchronizing movements with a temporal beat.
One study, “Evidence for a pure time perception deficit in children with ADHD” found that children with ADHD have difficulty in time perception tasks that do not require attention, working memory or inhibition. This suggests that the difficulties with time perception in ADHD may be related to a primary deficit in the neural mechanisms that underlie time perception, rather than secondary to difficulties with attention, working memory, or impulse control.
Yes, I am familiar with that paper, “Adjustment of Time Perception in the Range of Seconds and Milliseconds: The Nature of Time-Processing Alterations in Children With ADHD”. This study also found that children with ADHD had difficulty in time perception tasks, specifically in the range of seconds and milliseconds.
The study found that children with ADHD had difficulty adjusting their time perception based on the duration of the stimulus, which suggests that they may have difficulty using feedback to adjust their internal timekeeping mechanisms. Additionally, the study found that children with ADHD had difficulty with time perception tasks that required attention and working memory, which is consistent with previous research on the cognitive difficulties associated with ADHD.
The study also found that the children with ADHD had a normal ability to perceive time in the range of minutes to hours, which suggests that the difficulties with time perception in ADHD may be specific to the perception of short durations of time.
Yes, “ADHD and Temporality: A Desynchronized Way of Being in the World” is a paper that explores the concept of embodied cognition as it relates to ADHD. The paper suggests that people with ADHD experience a “desynchronization” between their internal bodily states and the external world, which can affect their perception of time. The authors propose that this desynchronization may be related to difficulties with sensory gating, which is the process of filtering out irrelevant information from the environment. They also suggest that interventions aimed at synchronizing internal and external states, such as mindfulness and physical exercise, may be beneficial for people with ADHD. Overall, the paper suggests that ADHD is not only related to cognitive and behavioral aspects, but also to the embodiment of the individual in the world, which affects the temporal experience.
This study argues that ADHD can be understood as an impairment in sense of time and a disruption in the experience of time and a state of desynchronization and arrhythmia. The study suggests that the experience of ADHD is characterized by an inner restlessness and bodily arrhythmia, an intersubjective desynchronization between the individual and its surroundings, and a feeling of lagging behind socially due to difficulties in social skills. The study also suggests that an increasingly accelerating society may exacerbate the experience of being out of sync for individuals with ADHD.
Inattentive ADHD can be described using the Kuramoto model as a state of desynchronization among neural oscillators. In individuals with ADHD, there may be a disruption in the coordination and synchronization of neural activity, leading to difficulty with attention, time perception, and other cognitive functions.
The P300 is an event-related potential (ERP) that is often used as an index of cognitive processing, specifically in relation to attention and memory. The P300 amplitude represents the degree of information processing, it increase with the amount of information processed and is often used as an indicator of attentional allocation and cognitive load.
Information density refers to the amount of information present in a given area or time period. High density information can be more cognitively demanding and may require more attentional resources to process. Socializing can be considered high density information as it requires the processing of verbal and nonverbal cues, as well as the ability to respond in real-time.
In terms of ADHD and information density, individuals with ADHD may have difficulty processing high-density information, particularly in social situations. Socializing may be more challenging for them as it requires a high degree of attentional and cognitive resources. In addition, the P300 amplitude is lower in ADHD patients, which suggests a problem in attention and cognitive processing.
Overall, it can be said that the impaired temporal processing and attention in ADHD may lead to difficulties in processing high-density information, such as that encountered during socializing, and the P300 can be used as an index of cognitive processing and attentional allocation to investigate this further.

It is true that individuals with ADHD may have difficulty processing high-density information, such as that encountered during socializing. This difficulty is likely due to the impaired temporal processing and attention seen in ADHD, which can lead to a decreased ability to process and respond to information in a timely manner. The P300 amplitude is lower in ADHD patients, which suggests a problem in attention and cognitive processing. Thus, the P300 can be used as an index of cognitive processing and attentional allocation to further investigate the role of information density in ADHD. Additionally, it is important to note that while difficulty processing high-density information might be a symptom of ADHD, there are other factors that can contribute to this difficulty, such as anxiety and learning disabilities.
The P300 is a neural response that is thought to reflect the allocation of attentional resources to a specific stimulus, and it has been found to be related to a wide range of cognitive processes, including information processing, memory, and decision making. The amplitude of the P300, which is the magnitude of the response, is thought to represent the degree of information processing, with larger amplitudes indicating greater engagement of attentional resources. In terms of ADHD and information density, individuals with ADHD may have difficulty processing and attending to high-density information, which can lead to difficulties in tasks that require attention to multiple stimuli. This may lead to a smaller P300 amplitude in response to high-density information, indicating that less attentional resources are being allocated to processing this information. Coincidence anticipation is the ability to anticipate the occurrence of a specific event based on the temporal patterns of preceding events. It plays an important role in many tasks, including sports, where it is essential for successful performance. The P300 has also been found to be related to coincidence anticipation, with larger P300 amplitudes being associated with better performance in tasks that require coincidence anticipation. Socializing can be thought of as high-density information as it often involves processing multiple stimuli such as verbal and nonverbal cues, body language, and tone of voice. Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty processing this type of high-density information, which can lead to difficulties in social interactions. It is still not clear how exactly the kuramoto model would be related to inattentive ADHD, but some researchers suggest that the model can be used to describe the dynamics of neural populations that underlie attention and cognitive control, and the desynchronization of neural oscillators could be thought of as a form of attentional impairment. It is important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between ADHD, information density, and the P300, as well as the relationship between ADHD, coincidence anticipation, and the P300.
“If-then planning modulates the P300 in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder”
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have difficulties with tasks that require response inhibition. We measured electroencephalographic data of nonmedicated children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and control children in two conditions: (a) a neutral condition without a self-regulation strategy and (b) a condition that involved the making of if-then plans (i.e. ‘If situation X is encountered, then I will perform the goal-directed behavior Y’). If-then plans improved response inhibition and increased the P300 in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder compared with the neutral condition. The present results encourage the application of self-regulation using if-then plans in addition or as an alternative to common medical therapy.
