Can We Slow Time Down?

     Two researches from the University of Minnesota, they used two monkeys rhesus, in a study to determine how the brain feels the not in of time, doing that, we could change our idea of time and change the time for faster or slower

     The two monkeys had to perform tasks that was required to them to move their eyes between two points, at regular intervals of  one second. Despite having an outside help to keep track of time, after 3 months, the monkeys learned to move their eyes in a standard speed (between 0.0973 seconds and 1.003 seconds).

       Using electrodes, they realized that the brain activity of a 100 neurons from the region associated with the eye movement. Every eye movement, the activity was decreased in a way that helped to "predict" the next move.

         Geoffrey Ghose, one of the two researchers (the other one is Blaine Schneider) said: "In our model, a change on activity is just what you need to have a different sense of what time is it. This notion will help scientists to understand how the brain processes when a second passing

          In the study, they realized that, the notion was decentralized in the brain with various circuits using their own timing mechanisms for each activity. 

          This explain why, in certain circumstances, we believed that time goes faster when we"re having fun!
