The authors tested a hypothesis that predicts why both the "hot" conflicts involving self-control and motivation and the "cooler" response conflicts of the laboratory lead to changes ...

The notion that exposure to a monotonous sensory environment could elicit reports indicating aberrant subjective experience and altered time perception is the impetus for the present report. Research has looked at the influence of exposure to such environments on time perception, reporting that the greater the environmental variation, the shorter is the time estimation obtained by the method of...

METHODS We performed a prospective study on sleep-related changes in motor functioning, using a PD symptom dia...
