The passage of time is all in your mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Human brains independently measure episodic movement \u2014 that\u2019s a trippy finding reported by French and Dutch researchers in a new study published Monday in the Journal of Neuroscience<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our brains possess \u201can internal or inherent flow of time, that was not driven by something going on in the external world,\u201d neuroscientist and lead study author Leila Reddy told Vice<\/a> of her team\u2019s findings, which she referred to as evidence of the human mind\u2019s \u201cmental time travel\u201d ability.<\/p>\n

To get evidence of this hard-to-conceptualize concept, Reddy and her team studied the brains of epileptics who already needed invasive electrode implants in their brains independent of the research.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese patients have severe, drug-resistant epilepsy and are awaiting surgery,\u201d Reddy told Vice of the study participants. \u201cPart of the pre-surgical procedure involves implanting electrodes in the brain to monitor seizure activity. Once the electrodes are inserted in the brain, we ask the patients if they are willing to participate in short experiments for us, and we can record from single neurons to test different hypotheses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Researchers found the participants\u2019 brains\u2019 \u201ctime cells\u201d fired at specific moments, including moments when there weren\u2019t external stimuli, suggesting they were responding to an internal sense of sequencing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a big question here is to ultimately understand how memories are encoded,\u201d Reddy told Vice. \u201cEpisodic memory, in particular, is the memory of what happ<\/a>ened, when, and where. Time cells could provide the scaffolding for representing the \u2018when.\u2019 Emerging evidence suggests that the same hippocampal neurons might also encode the \u2018where\u2019 and the \u2018what,\u2019 providing a broader framework for encoding memories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moving forward, to better understand how humans process time, she believes researchers will need to look even closer at the mechanisms by which the brain encodes both time\u2019s passage and memories.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
