Check out:
Ivry, Richard B. Timing functions of the cerebellum. (1989) J Cog Neuro _1_
(2).
Keele, Steven W., Ivry, Richard B. Does the cerebellum provide a common
computation for diverse tasks? A timing hypothesis. (1990) Annals
NYAS _608_ pp. 179-211.
Keele, S. W., Ivry, R.B. Do perception and motor production share common
timing mechanisms: A correlational analysis. (1985) Acta Psychologica
_60_ pp. 173-191.
Hope this is helpful.
