Scientists Confirm Exercise Slows Down The Perception of Time

The gym can be a discouraging place.

The gym can be a discouraging place. Puffed and exhausted, it's never wise to sneak a peek at the clock. A 10-minute session on the bike might sound like an achievable goal before the timer starts, but when your body gets going, those seconds are about to feel longer than normal, according to a series of new experiments. The standardized and controlled study was crafted by psychologists from the UK and the Netherlands.

A Smartwatch That Tells Time With Scent

"Most smartwatches constantly pester their wearers about appointments, e-mails, or even calories they have left to burn. Aisen Caro Chacin, who teaches physical computing at the Parsons New School for Design in New York, has built one that doesn’t blast stressful reminders. Hers instead subtly augments her chronoception, or sense of time."
