Discover the Jimi Hendrix Experience
I read an article in the August edition of Discover Magazine entitled, The Brain. In it, author, Carl Zimmer, asserts that “It’s possible that we reverse time in our memories in order to focus our brains on goals.”
“Staring at an angry face for five seconds feels longer than staring at a neutral one.”
Zimmer postulates, based on scientific studies, that “Keeping track of time is essential for perceiving what’s happening around us and responding to it.” In order to hear where a voice is coming from we unconsciously register how long the sound takes to reach both ears.
“It’s just a brief pause that makes the difference between ‘Excuse me while I kiss the sky’ and ‘Excuse me while I kiss this guy.’
