Previous reports have suggested that human time production of several seconds fluctuates across the day. In order to test whether human time production was controlled by the circadian process or by the homeostatic process, we investigate diurnal fluctuation of human time production under constant routine conditions. We found a common circadian feature in time production tests of 10 s by calculating Z-score for each subject; afternoon troughs and morning peaks. These results may suggest that human time production was modulated by the circadian process.
先前的报告表明,人类数秒时长的时间生成在一天中会有波动。为了测试人类时间生成是受昼夜节律过程还是稳态过程控制,我们在恒定日常条件下研究了人类时间生成的昼夜波动情况。通过计算每个受试者的Z分数,我们在10秒的时间生成测试中发现了一个共同的昼夜节律特征;下午出现低谷,上午出现峰值。这些结果可能表明人类时间生成受昼夜节律过程的调节。
