How is the human body capable of measuring small units of time?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12681points) October 31st, 2011

How are we able to measure units of time much smaller than what is measured by the circadian rhythm? For example, how is a person able to keep a steady tempo in music? What is it that causes us to be able to “feel” how long a second is?
