Many people think that the brain is synchronized with the clock on their electronic devices, that it counts down the time from second to second. But new research shows that this is not true at all. If nothing happens, the brain's time stands still.

According to the data published in the journal Current Biology, our perception of time is much more complex than we could imagine.
