- Cognitive neuroscientist Irena Arslanova delves into the intricate connection between the brain, heart, and our perception of time. Highlighting the heart's role in distorting time, Arslanova's experiments showed that during heart contraction, time felt shorter, and during relaxation, it felt longer. This suggests a link between the heartbeat's impact on the brain and our overall time experience. Arslanova concludes by emphasizing the embodied nature of time perception and suggests that mindful moments, like slowing down and breathing, can enhance creativity by expanding our temporal awareness.
Irena is a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive neuroscience at Royal Holloway, University of London. She is interested in how we experience time - why it can sometimes pass with a dizzying speed, yet other times take painstakingly long? Irena examines how our internal bodily signals, like the beating of the heart, cause the time to distort. She designs experiments to link perception to physiology (see: doi.org/10.101...) and use EEG (electroencephalography) to reveal the underlying neural mechanisms. She is starting a Leverhulme early-career fellowship in March 2024. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I recommend you extend your study with willing, former, disabled and retired athletesand sports coaches. Time distortion and time perception is very evident in sports. Specifically sport shooting, baseball, golf and any kind of gymnastics
Really great speech! Absolutely amazing!
What a fascinating talk by Irena Arslanova at TEDxBerlin! The connection between the heartbeat and our perception of time is truly mind-boggling. It's amazing to think about how our internal bodily signals, like the beating of the heart, can influence our experience of time. I loved learning about how each heartbeat can shape our perception of time, making it feel shorter or longer. It really makes you appreciate the intricate relationship between our brain, heart, and time. Such a thought-provoking talk that highlights the importance of mindfulness and awareness in shaping our temporal experience. Thank you for sharing such valuable insights, Irena!
Our perception of time is deeply intertwined with our physiological states, specifically the rhythm of our heartbeats. This embodied experience reveals that as our heart rate changes, so does our sense of time-speeding up with a rapid heartbeat and slowing down with a relaxed one. This intricate dance between the heart and brain not only shapes how we perceive each moment but also suggests that by understanding and influencing our internal states, we can potentially control our experience of time.
Or.. How your experience of time affects your heartbeat.... Just sayin"
It's dialectical, like chicken and the egg. Which one came first, which one causes the other? Both but neither came first, a seeming contradiction that "just is".
"We now have scientific evidence for that intuition" this step is something most people miss.
Excellent information and investigation about time and its relationship between the heart and brain! Thank you so much!❤

Awesome
One question… in a physical fight our heart is beating faster and time going slow… isn’t that contradictory to this study?
Excellent question! Things always become tricky when you add additional variables, in this case, arousal. Arousal in itself has a huge modulatory influence on neural activity, e.g., by amplifying attention, that effect may be sufficient to slow time down and it's probably so powerful that it overshadows the effect of momentary heart fluctuations, which may have a larger effect in a state of relatively lower arousal. I am trying to also examine the interplay between arousal, heart and time perception. We actually did manipulate arousal in the paper, but by showing fearful vs happy faces, but that is way less arousing than the excellent example you're giving, so we need a better method of inducing heightened arousal in the lab. I'm trying to do just that in near future.
Good point
Can a heartbeat shape our experience of time ? It can indeed shape the experience of anything : The branch of neuroscience we study is influenced by the heartbeat itself, and the consciousness we possess is sustained by it. Without the body, we have nothing.
that sounded more like speculations on that observation rather than any concrete fact
Interesting study. It's surprising (to me) that it was detectable. I wonder what the delta is for the states. I would have thought that the regulation of dopamine would have made our brain's perception of time more constant from beat to beat.

At 7:47 Irena meant to say, I believe, that "each beat momentarily suppressed perception, but between the beats perception was momentarily increased."
so when the beating is slow, perception is higher.
@@gadineshkumar yes, I believe so.
ah yes, that was a mistake on my part ! thank you for pointing it out here.
@neuro_Irena you're welcome! Really enjoyed your presentation.
Most people miss it but the secret to retiring comfortably is finding a way to make returns while your money works for you. My Dad, as i remember started saving for retirement quite late but I know he was making more than 10k returns from his investments monthly and it was completely passive.
No doubt being financially free and not having to worry much about health care and other expenses after retirement cannot be overemphasized, making smart plans and setting up diversified investment portfolios is quite essential.
@@collettejacqueline4160Haha, investing enthusiast? Not really.
Our family got introduced to a financial consultant about four years before my dad retired. That was what changed things, and I think my retirement will be on the right track.
Please could you guide me on how to get in touch with your consultant? My funds are being eroded by inflation and I seek a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize before I consider retirement

Just breathe!
So many dependent variables here, do you actually think ECG is significantly representative as to what and how we feel?
ECG was merely a tool here, we used ECG to try to tap into the relationship between heart and perception of time. Heart alone does not equal how we feel, but it does shape it :)

I am from India and you .........
Mid-19th century experiments pointed at this (not that precisely)
I'm curious, do you have any specific examples at hand? Would love to check those out.

That is.. ..... *Very* Very Fascinating and Interesting.. And I'm Smelling What Your Selling Madam - However; I think I might - at least partially gotta disagree.. It is one's Experiences and Situations that Shape (and Influence) time and (subsequently) make it longer or shorter..
...or Both. 🫶
And what influences our perception of those experiences and situations?

Quite Literally the A - Z Situation, Circumstance, Experience, and/or Conversation Itself.
@@drumbum3.142 and, by the research, the body itself.

Wow, thank you for sharing this fascinating insight on how our heartbeat can influence our perception of time. It's truly amazing how interconnected our physiological processes are with our subjective experience. This information is not only intriguing but also has practical implications for understanding and perhaps even manipulating our perception of time. Thank you for providing such valuable knowledge!
So is that why we say follow your heart and is that why our heart feels heavy when things doesn't go our way or we let go of something we like?
