> Professor Moser says the study shows that by changing the activities you engage in, the content of your experience, you can actually change the course of the time-signal in LEC and thus the way you perceive time.
This correlates with anecdotal experience. A 'routine' day goes by much faster as opposed to a day with new experiences (travel to previously unseen places for instance).
Say my brain is used to processing one emotional state change per hour on a typical, slow day.
Then a gauntlet of events happens that incur several state changes per hour for several hours, whether those emotions are all positive or all negative.
I think I would feel as though more time had passed than the equivalent amount of time on a slow day due to the denser tempo of psychological excitation.
