the anomaly Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone know if it would be possible to alter the perception of time and if so how? with out slowing down the thought processes and leaving motor skills fully intact ?

dt1 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't know if that test discounts alternative interpretations. It could be that under stress the brain dedicates more circuits to visual processing which provide the ability to read the numbers. So, rather than time slowing down, alternative synapic connections become available which provides richer interpretations of sensory information. It would make sense in a fight-or-flight scenario and is certainly consistant with the experience. Perhaps our everyday subjective experience is due to energy conservation and, in times of danger, this is no longer the prime concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question isn't if we can actually slow down time, it was about the perception of time. Perception of time can be altered in subjects with reasonable predictability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Plus, time slows down all the time. All you must do is move faster than some relative observer. See the Hafele-Keating experiment, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perception of time can be altered in subjects with reasonable predictability. I understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowWattBulb Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Pain, or intense physical exertion. Run on a treadmill at your max heart rate for a while. Right when you can't take any more, push yourself for 30 more seconds. Watch how slow time can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
