Your brain is a time machine : the neuroscience and physics of time / Dean Buonomano

by Dean Buonomano

This work explores how the brain perceives time and constructs a sense of chronological flow. Drawing on neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, it examines the evolutionary importance of mental time travel and the biological capacity to predict future events.
