* "Time perception engages striatal regions and their dopaminergic inputs".
* "We show that positive and negative prediction errors bias time perception by increasing and decreasing perceived time, respectively."
* "Learning is driven by efficient processing of reinforcement signals and mainly by prediction error (PE): 4,5 outcomes can be better than expected, a positive prediction error (PE+), or worse than
expected, a negative prediction error (PE−). Although classically independent processes, recent studies suggest that time perception and PE might be related [6,7]"
Reminds me of Nietzsche's "progression of man", from a camel to a lion to a child. Or Jesus saying, "be like little children". So many of these things tie into one another, it's exciting, scary almost.
Yet another great article, thanks. I'm musical and have "perfect pitch" and have noticed that when I have ingested a certain deadly yellow powder used in manufacturing dynamite that music all sounds at least a semitone downtuned and feels up to 10-20bpm slower. I get the same effect when I take over 1000mg caffeine throughout the day. I am typically not great at video games but they feel slower and more playable in that state.
Are you familiar with Rudolf Steiner? He has very interesting things to say about the significant metabolic difference between supine and standing and their connection with celestial movements.
This is so wonderful. What a fascinating topic. You explore such interesting subjects.
"...often find myself muttering how “full of surprises ‘peating’ is”. I love that.
Thank you for the kind words, Regina.

Wow wow wow wow wow. Reading this alone reset my metabolism.

I'm interested in exploring this myself. When you say you 'took a little thyroid', is there a specific supplement you're reffering to?
