Has anyone else here ever noticed a correlation between heart rate and the perceived speed of music -- specifically, that music sounds slower when your heart rate is higher? I first noticed this when I listened to my work playlist while exercising and the first song sounded unusually slow. Similarly, I've found that songs that sound reasonably brisk while I'm working out feel frenetically fast when I'm not.
Does anyone else experienced this, and do you think it's heart rate per se that causes it or some other factor?

Haven't noticed that, but I haven't been paying attention either. Will have to start paying attention now though. I'm not sure if it's really linked to heart rate though or just generally how "alert" you are at the moment. Like bullet-time-like effects are real, if you've got adrenaline pumping through your veins you do end up perceiving things slower. Maybe this is just a gentler extension of that extreme?

I saw a scientific press release about the bullet-time effect you spoke of, but I haven't read the paper yet. I think you're quite right.

I read that music influences physical performance during exercise, dilating the veins, making the heart pump more efficiently and makes the body achieve more resistance to exercise, I like rock music, heavy metal, Then you can imagine how my heart will go, that music is super fast in its rhythms, my musical groups are metallica, apocalyptic.

I give you articles about the influence of music on the heartbeat in case you are interested in delving deeper into the subject https://consumer.healthday.com/circulat … 28366.html

@miguel004 Thanks for the resources. What I was curious about, though, was the inverse effect.
