Time rules our lives, yet many of us understand very little about it, but help is at hand. BBC broadcaster Claudia Hammond will present her investigations into the mysterious world of time perception on April 18 at the British Psychological Society (BPS) Annual Conference, held in London.
The public lecture forms part of the BPS's public engagement scheme. In it, Claudia, presenter of BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind, will discuss conundrums such as why lives appear to speed up as we get older, how our minds keep time and why at least a fifth of the population visualise time spread out before them.
Author of "Time Warped", published on 3 May 2012 by Canongate Books Ltd, Claudia says: "The brain creates its own time, making it remarkably easy to trick the brain's clock. Mind time is different from clock time. It is the inner time we experience and it can pass fast or slowly depending on whether we are waiting for a train, working hard or free falling from a plane. Our relationship with time is not straightforward."
