(CN) — Scientists in China acknowledged that classical music can affect a person’s mood, so they wanted to see if it could treat depression.

We often think our brains tick away time in perfect synchronization with the clocks on our walls and electronic devices. However, groundbreaking research published in the journal Current Biology provides evidence that our perception of time is not governed by an internal clock but by the number of experiences we have.
