Time Research<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I arrived at the topic of time through the initial research on languages. From there, I decided to make a mind map to generate time-related research topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept of “interior time” mentioned by George Steiner in his book After Babel: aspects of language and translation<\/em> was something that piqued my interest, so I decided to look into it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circadian Rhythm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This brought me to the idea of the subjective feel of time and if it is the same for everyone. The term “circadian rhythm” appeared in my research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Circadian Rhythm?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is a 24-hour cycle that helps govern essential bodily functions – especially the sleep-wake cycle – by syncing internal processes with the day-night cycle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do Circadian Rhythms Work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Circadian rhythms are controlled by biological clocks located in organs and glands throughout the body, but all of these peripheral clocks are commanded by a \u201cmaster clock\u201d in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeitgebers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From there, my research took me to the term of “zeitgebers”, which are environmental agents or events that provide cues for setting or resetting a biological clock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
