Another recent fMRI study examined the neural basis of chronesthesia, or the capacity to be aware of subjective time (Tulving, 2002b; for related ideas, see Dalla Barba and Boisse ́, 2010; Szpunar, 2011). Chronesthesia is invoked whenever people remember the past or imagine the future, but isolating the cognitive processes or brain regions associated with chronesthesia requires an experimental design that controls for nontemporal cognitive activities.
