Warren Meck

Warren Meck (17 November 1956 – 21 January 2020) was a professor in psychology and neuroscience american at Duke University. His main field of interest was Interval-Timing mechanisms and subjective time perception. He was editor in chief in the journal of Timing & Time Perception. He introduced an interesting time perception 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 Google Scholar.
