Some researchers have argued that brain has an “internal clock” of regularly pulsing cells to measure split-second intervals. And when we walk our coordination relies on the brain’s ability to precisely time the movement of our feet. For example, when listening to someone speak, the mind continuously recalculates when one word ends and another starts. The brain has to constantly gauge time intervals so tiny that it must do it subconsciously, but how the brain measures such very short time spans has long eluded scientists. How does the mind tell the time when it is too brief for us to register? Researchers think they have discovered the brain’s stopwatch and, along with it, a clue to conditions like dyslexia.
