How We Experience Time-Unit3-Form11/L.Morska

Michel Siffre stayed in a cave in 1962 to study his perception of time. 

While in the cave, Siffre thought he had spent 59 days underground, but it was only 34 days. 

Life-threatening experiences make people process time more accurately.

Listening carefully to music can make time seem slower. 

Negative emotions can make people feel that time is passing more slowly

Our brains can perceive events that are less than 80 milliseconds apart as separate. 

Time seems to pass more quickly as people get older because they have fewer new experiences. 

People who are impulsive and focus on the present usually feel that time moves slower for them. 

Tiredness can make it harder for people to judge short intervals of time.

Michel Siffre experienced time speeding up while people outside the cave perceived him as slowing down.
