Your mind is a time machine - Dar Don

An exciting journey to understand the most complex parts of the universe; the mind and time from the perspective of neuroscience and physics. Why do we sometimes feel that time passes quickly, while at other times it moves very slowly? Is our perception, measurement, and division of time just an illusion? Or is it evidence of the creativity of our minds? This book answers all these questions and more, explaining how our brains work and how they comprehend the nature of past and future events. How does the brain understand time? How do our nerves deal with time? Is the passing of time in reality measured in the same way as the mind perceives the passage of time? What is the time experienced during dreams, sleep, and thinking? What is the difference between the biological clock and the daily clock? And what is the relationship between night and day and sleep? All these questions and more are explored in this enjoyable book that explains time from a physical perspective—time as it passes in hours, minutes, and seconds, and time as the brain, neuroscience, and methods of interpretation and understanding deal with it, including relative and real time. In this book: – Why does time pass quickly when we are enjoying it, and slowly when we feel bored? – Explanation of some brain functions and the relationship between the brain and time. – How the brain handles the passage of time and memory, and how we remember events in slow motion. – Explanation of spacetime and relativity from a neuroscience perspective. – Interpretation of anticipatory time, and the relationship between consciousness, reality, and time. – The concept of the brain’s clocks, and the concepts of consciousness and will.
