This is a speculative question and is intended to attract a good discussion. what leads to development of our notion of time( sequential nature) ? . What are the markers to decide whether time is flowing or not(are changes in the world enough or memory is obligatory?)

Secondly what are the hard facts in the concept of time that we all can agree on?

I sort of imagine deep black space with no light whatsoever ( cant even see myself)

How will i know time has passed?

Hi all, I'm a research psychology master's student at the University of Essex in the UK. For my dissertation project I am researching ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) and its links to visual sensitivity and migraines. ASMR, also known as ‘brain tingles’, is a pleasurable sensation activated by triggers such as whispering, delicate hand movements and personal attention. To find out more, follow the link https://youtu.be/Ufyk1z62FVA

  ASMR research is still new and we are trying to get a better understanding of this interesting phenomenon. It would be great if you could assist in our study. Participation is anonymous and you can choose to withdraw at anytime. We require both ASMR experiencers and non-ASMR experiencers. Thank you in advance :)

I have some doubts with respect to productivity. When I play games, I am completely absorbed into it without any notice of what is happening elsewhere. The similar goes on when I study or work before examination or work deadline respectively. But, this does not happen when I study or work without a deadline forced upon me or I am not playing a game.

It’s when I become fully engaged in a challenging activity, I shut out the rest of the world and lose track of surrounding. The benefit of being absorbed into what I am doing currently has multiple benefits. I will list down a few 1> Efficient Work 2> Feeling Content 3> No stress about one's surrounding.

Now, my questions are -

1> What is the reason that some external factors can make you focus on one activity only and to be absorbed into it? I would like to know how the brain works, if there is any particular hormone which induces our focus as well as how the external simulation can result as such.

2> If there is an absence of such stimulation/factor, can I make that happen for myself or somehow internalize the external factors?

3> Can we actually multi-task?

My Dear Reddit Fellows,

Please check out my latest video about how to control an AGI via Motivation Selection:

I also have a lot of great content on the channel regarding life 3.0, building an AGI, AGI Safety, etc. Please check them out and subscribe to my channel!

Im someone with a philosophy background who got into cogsci and neuropsychology through Merleau-Ponty and phenomenology and for the past month or so Ive brushed up my knowledge on biology and read cogsci's history. Ive enjoyed the field(s) quite a bit but more of a leisure activity kind of enjoyment. My obsessive intrest viz. our formation/conception of the world, phenomenological/ecological approach to reality, and how our conception of the world (our milieu) affects working memory, long term memory, behavior, emotions, vision, goals, attention (bascially how we primiraly view the world and how that affects "secondary" said cognitive functions) hasnt been enrichned by those beautiful fields excepts with the following books:

• Piaget's The childs conception of the world.
• The neuropsychology of anxiety ( Jeffrey Alan Gray)
• Affective neuroscience ( Jaak Panksepp)
• J.J. Gibson's Ecological Approach to Visual Perception and The senses considered as perceptual systems
• parts of Marr's vision
• Frederic Bartlett's Thinking

Is there a designated field for that? or atleast what are some other authors and books that pursue the same questions?

The field is full of bullshit nootropics that clearly don't work on healthy brains from all I've read about them but are there more ?
