"Time's Tumult: How the Pandemic Distorted our Perception"

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our perception of time, according to a study by cognitive neuroscientist Nina Rouhani and colleagues. The study found that the pandemic compressed the distance between remembered events, making time seem to shrink in our memories. Additionally, the study confirmed that negative emotions can improve memory recall but also blur the details of those memories. Understanding how memory and time perception are influenced by events and emotions can provide insights into how to heal from traumatic experiences and envision a brighter future. Further research is needed to explore the effects of different forms of monotony on time perception.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Time Perception: Insights from Brain Studies and Rat Experiments

Scientists have identified a specific region in the brain, called the striatum, that is involved in the perception of time in rodents. By manipulating the neural activity in this brain region through changes in temperature, researchers found that the rats' perception of time changed. A warmer, faster striatum made time appear to pass more slowly, while a cooler, slower striatum made time appear to pass more quickly. This study sheds light on the inner brain mechanisms involved in the perception of time and raises questions about the role of other brain areas in timing behavior.

The Distorted Effects of COVID-19 Lockdowns on Memory and Time Perception: Study

COVID-19 lockdowns have caused people to lose track of time and affected their memory, according to a study published in the journal PLOS One. Scottish researchers found that people made errors when trying to remember events from 2021, findings that are consistent with memory lapses experienced by people who have served jail time. The inability to accurately recall a timeline of events correlated with reports of depression, anxiety, and stressful physical and mental demands. The researchers believe that "anchoring" life events is vital for accurate recollection of timelines, and these were in short supply after pandemic lockdowns began in 2020.
