Professor Warren Meck (17 November 1956 – 21 January 2020) was a professor in psychology and

neuroscience Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders. It is a multidisciplinary science that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developme ...

at Duke University. His main field of interest was Interval-Timing mechanisms and subjective

time perception The study of time perception or chronoception is a field within psychology, cognitive linguistics and neuroscience that refers to the subjective experience, or sense, of time, which is measured by someone's own perception of the duration of the ind ...

. He was editor in chief in the journal of Timing & Time Perception. He introduced an interesting

model in 1984 and 2005. He explained that time is created in a dedicated module in the certain internal clock. Meck has over 19,000 citations in
