Blind from birth here; this makes absolutely no sense to me. I've always thought of the future as "ahead" because that's how I heard it talked about growing up, and it just seems natural to think of it that way. Even if I didn't, I'd have no trouble pressing the appropriate key for "forward", since that's obviously the expected response. Same about the past; it definitely doesn't seem equidistant, and I recall events from, say, early childhood with less clarity than I do something from five years ago. I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but imo either the blind subjects were socially clueless or there was something more going on, probably related to cognition. I'd be interested to see some more details about the participants.

I agree. I have been blind since birth and don't get this. I know for a fact that I had a burger about an hour or so ago, that hour and the time I spent with my brother and his wife was in the past, there's no doubt about that.

Pretty trippy. Although from the description of the study I'm not sure it proves as much as it says it does.
