"Timing" = la percezione del tempo. Io (roboc) penso che questo "timing" sia basato in primis sul timing del moto del proprio corpo e del moto del corpo degli altri.
Il cervelletto ha a che fare con il timing.
Cervelletto e corteccia frontale e temporale sono collegate tra loro e si stimolano a vicenda; these are brain areas that are highly involved in timing ability.
Timing is one of the cognitive functions affected in dyslexia;
It is known that reading strongly depends on timing ability [146 A cross-lingual link between rhythmic regularity perception and reading skill. >>>]. Moreover, the cerebellum plays a fundamental role in language [76] through (among other things) its projections with frontal and prefrontal areas [4], and its dysfunction is considered a potential biomarker for dyslexia
Cognitive resources must be challenged continually, and not just used, in order to elicit improvements.
The importance of introducing body movements into meditative practices.
First of all, QMT does not include a focus on breathing. However, the main difference is that during QMT, participants do not know the next movements that they will perform in advance, as in other MM practices such as Tai Chi, Qui Gong, and Aikido. Participants know what to expect but do not know exactly what movements they will be required to perform. In QMT, the precise timing of the movement is externally paced on a momentary basis, whereas in other MM, movement sequences are usually performed and internally passed once the instruction is given. In fact, the continual state of attending and waiting for the next instruction during QMT results in the participants being obliged to enter this state of suspending the tendency for habitual movement, that of moving where and when you want [59,131]. This state requires more sustained attention, working memory, and inhibitory control. Therefore, this intrinsic characteristic of QMT forces participants to stay ready to act and continuously divide attention between the verbal instructions in parallel to the position in space. The second important distinctive feature of QMT is its short and modifiable duration. This means that QMT is a MM method that can potentially be practiced every day, once or even more, as it does not need to much time. This is particularly important considering that perceived lack of time is one of the main reasons that people refrain from regular PA [158]. Moreover, QMT could eventually be practiced anywhere, requires limited space, and, after a few days of practice with a specialized trainer, can be performed without an expert to lead the practice. These are other fundamental distinctive features that enhance people’ opportunities to increase the time spent in PAs. Finally, from a motor perspective, it is a relatively simple MM and, thus, potentially practicable by almost anyone, from childhood to late adulthood, in both healthy and clinical conditions.
