Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe neurophenomenological theory of time integrates the phenomenological structure of temporal experience with findings from cognitive neuroscience. It externally manifests defined neurobiological temporal attributes while maintaining a description close to actual temporal experience. Neurophenomenology anthropocentrically orients the categorical isomorphism of temporality. The neurobiological foundation allows formal description of nonlinear dynamics, which articulates the nature of actual temporal experience analyzable through phenomenological reduction.

Abstract
The neurophenomenological theory of time unites the phenomenological understanding of the structure of temporal experience and its constituent elements with the findings of experimental cognitive neuroscience. On the one hand, this leads to a process of external manifestation of strictly defined neurobiological temporal attributes, and on the other – to a phenomenological description that remains close to our actual temporal experience. Neurophenomenology anthropocentrically orients the categorical isomorphism of temporality. The neurobiological foundation of temporality leads to formal descriptive possibilities for expressing its nonlinear dynamics, which, in turn, articulates the nature of actual temporal experience, analysable with the aid of phenomenological reduction.
