Research on Time Perception

Research on time perception explores how humans experience and estimate time intervals, which varies based on factors like attention, emotion, age, and context. Scientists study how the brain processes temporal information, revealing that our sense of time is subjective and can stretch or compress depending on circumstances. This research helps understand phenomena such as why moments feel longer during boredom or shorter during engaging activities. Understanding time perception has applications in psychology, neuroscience, and even improving time management and treatment for certain neurological conditions.
