The year of 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of \;Michel Treisman&rsquo\;s classic paper &ndash\; Temporal discrimination and the \;indifference interval. Implications for a model of the &ldquo\;internal \;clock&rdquo\;. Psychological Monographs: General and Applied\, 77(13)\, 1963\, \;1-31. By positing an &ldquo\;internal clock&rdquo\; based on a pacemaker\, counter\, \;store\, and comparator this paper provided a foundation for the study \;of timing and time perception\, which led to the subsequent development \;and expression of scalar timing theory as an information-processing \;model (Gibbon\, Church\, and Meck\, 1984). The journal of Timing &\; Time \;Perception celebrates this anniversary through a special issue devoted \;to one of the most popular approaches to understanding time perception \;&ndash\; the &ldquo\;internal clock&rdquo\;. This special issue aims to cover historically \;the precursors of the internal clock (e.g.\, Alderson\, 1974\; Bell\, \;1966\; Francois\, 1927\; Hoagland\, 1933\, 1935)\, the development of \;Treisman&rsquo\;s 1963 model\, and current research directions and experiments \;conducted using the &ldquo\;internal clock&rdquo\; as a guiding principle in the \;understanding of timing and time perception in humans and other \;animals.
