3 How Do We Sense Time? Mechanical brain, conceptual image. Composite image of coloured medical imagery of a human brain and skull, with cogs and gears representing concepts such as memory, time and mechanical brains. The imagery includes 3D computed tomography (CT) scans of the skull and 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain. The scans are of a 30-year-old woman.
