Thinking Of The Past Or Future Causes Us To Sway Backward Or Forward

Although we can't technically travel through time, when we think of the past or the future we engage in a sort of mental time travel. This uniquely human ability to psychologically travel through time arguably sets us apart from other species.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen have recently looked at how mental time travel is represented in the sensorimotor systems that regulate human movement. It turns out our perceptions of space and time are tightly coupled.
