Summary

This study aims to develop and validate a test that uses time estimation to reveal emotional disorders in people with neurological diseases. Researchers first need to establish normal reference values in 150 healthy adults aged 20 to 92. The test measures how emotional video clips affect a person's sense of time, which may indicate underlying emotional issues.

What this could lead to

If successful, this test could help doctors spot early emotional problems in people with neurological diseases.

What could go wrong
