Does the brain have a clock? I mean a natural clock. Of course we can relate events to other events such as day and night and use that as a sort of "time stamps." Or a person can go live in Antarctica for a winter, or in a dark cave, but that person would be an adult that has already set lots of time stamps.
But I do not mean that, I mean a natural sense of time, not a learned one. Can an infant tell time? How do todlers learn time? I mean, before they learn how to use a clock. Do they have a natural clock, like computers have? If they do, then where is it, and what is the number of ticks per second? It must have been measured. If they don't, then there would be ground to believe that the brain uses cause-effect relationships between events to set a causal scale of its own, and the scale would be its internal clock. Which, in turn, would mean that the brain uses causality as time. Why am I asking? 1. In fundamental Physics, causality is used as time. 2. If the brain indeed uses causality, then episodic memories and pattern recognition would be very nearly the same thing.
