Re: Blood sugar level follows perceived time rather than actual time in diabetics
#2The brain seems to have control over more of the body than we thought.
Is there potential treatments that could result from this?
I wonder if type one also exhibits this trait?

#3This seems to indicate that studies should be designed to investigate the effectiveness of diets with respect to expectations and future plans; since the system is complex and literally based on the subject's memories and expectations of future events.

#4I’m inclined to believe this is an inaccurate study. I’d really like to see it replicated.
That said, assuming it’s accurate — that’s kind of an amazing physiological response to perceived time. I wonder if other systems can be impacted or what would cause this particular system to be impacted? I could see people’s metabolism changing based on perception(s).
So many questions, but an exciting and interesting area.

#5Assuming this can be replicated, it'd be interesting to know if knowing the clock is running fast is enough to offset whatever's going on here.
I'd also be curious to know what impact the speed of the clock had on game play, did it impact their ability to play in any measurable way?

I only read the abstract and it suggests a direction of causation that the experiment does not give.
I'll read this in full when I have time but I would be very surprised if the causation is not completely reverse of what is suggested.

Stress causes inflammation of the stomach and an increase in stomach acid production. Seems closely related so doesn't surprise me.

#8Paper is from 2016. Huberman Labs has a great roundup (Nov '21) of the research on time perception - and several other related series on dopamine. The title of OP was not surprising after listening. https://hubermanlab.com/time-perception-and-entrainment-by-d...

#9Suggestion works on taste buds too. In the nineties I had a thing for salsa and ate it most days at the office over things I steamed in the microwave. But I ate the mild salsas and couldn't tolerate the hot stuff. Still can't.
So my boss decides to spice it up a bit, and mixes in some hot salsa. I didn't notice. Each day he gradually added more until it was all the hot stuff. I didn't notice. He went out and bought hotter stuff. For some reason the whole office was watching me when I made some quiet comment about the mild salsa being hotter than it used to be. They thought that was pretty funny.
But I really didn't notice. If you can lie to the tongue, why not the liver?

What are you suggesting the causation is exactly? That blood sugar levels affect our perception of time?
