Two new studies have found that our heartbeat contributes to feeling like passing moments fly or drag. Experiments reported in “Current Biology” discovered that our perception of time passage expands and contracts within each heartbeat. Irena Arslanova, lead author of one of the studies and postdoctoral researcher at the University of London, joins CBS News to break down the findings.
