为何快乐的时间溜得快(1/2)

Why having fun makes time speed Scientists have come up with a theory for why time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain change depending on how we focus on a task. Concentrating on time passing, as we do when bored, will trigger brain activity which will make it seem as though the clock is ticking more slowly. The research, by the French Laboratory of Neurobiology and Cognition, is published in the magazine Science. In the study, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity using MRI scans. Volunteers were given a variety of tasks. In one they were told to concentrate simply on the duration of an image, in another they were asked to focus on the colour, and in a third they were asked to concentrate on both duration and colour.

为何快乐的时间溜得快 科学家们提出理论依据，解释为什么当你玩得开心的时候，时间总是过得飞快，而当你无聊的时侯，时间却过得特别慢。 通过扫描发现，大脑活动的方式随着我们对事情的关注程度发生变化。 我们在无聊的时候，往往把注意力集中在时间的流逝上，这样会使大脑活动产生错觉，总觉得时钟似乎走得更慢 法国神经生物和认知学实验室进行的此项研究发表在《科学》杂志上。 在研究中，当12名志愿者同时看一幅图像时，研究者们用核磁共振成像扫描仪来监控他们大脑的活动。 志愿者们被分配了各种不同的任务。一次他们被要求专注于图象持续的时间，另一次集中观察图象的色彩，第三次同时关注图象持续的时间和色彩。
