time perception experiments

Time perception experiments study how humans and animals perceive the passing of time. Researchers often ask participants to judge the duration of stimuli, like sounds or flashes, or reproduce a time interval. By manipulating factors such as attention, emotion, or stimulus intensity, they explore how these influence perceived duration. These experiments help reveal the brain processes underlying our sense of time, showing that perception can vary based on context, mental state, or neural mechanisms. Overall, they deepen our understanding of how we experience the flow of events in everyday life.
