NCT ID NCT07402148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different altitudes change the way people perceive time. Researchers will use a special chamber to simulate altitudes from 500 to 3000 meters. 46 healthy adults will complete timing tasks while their heart rate and oxygen levels are monitored. The goal is to see if altitude affects time perception and how it relates to body changes.
