Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding human temporality is a theoretical and experimental challenge, requiring ingenious ways to capture the manner in which time enters and structures human experience. This book bridges music, physics, and experimental psychology to present a unique perspective on the experience of time that is rooted in both physical theory and Gestalt psychology. Featuring a novel framework based on the idea that people sense time indirectly through the visceral feeling that time passage generates, it draws on the authors decades of research in cognitive psychology to present a unique perspective on this topic. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and anyone seeking deeper insight into how the mind and body interact to shape personal experience and the world we inhabit.
