Berezina, T. N. Speeding Up and Slowing Down of Internal Time During Altered Statesof Consciousness

Abstract: The author of the article studies the duration of internal time during altered states of consciousness. The following temporary indicators were registered during the research: subjective duration of a time period, pulse and a task time. The ayuthor studied such states of consciousness as the active waking, auto-training state and some states of active imagination called by the author as the ‘cold image’, ‘hot image’, ‘quick image’ and ‘slow image’. It was shown that in some states the task time was much shorter compared to auto-training and active wakening. The author also described a few mechanisms of the described phenomenon such as speeding up of the internal time, occurrence of additional time and transfer to the ‘out of time’ state of mind.
