CALCULATING TIME
BRAIN’S TEMPERATURE. NEW YORK, December 27. A master chemical clock within the human brain, which estimates time, was reported to-day by Professor Hoagland, to the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Cambridge (Massachussets). He said experiment had shown that persons’ judgments of .short intervals depended on the internal body temperature. Persons having a fever counted intervals of one second faster than persons with normal temperatures. Experiments suggested that the brain had a chemical time scale on which to base estimates.
