Time perception is the study of how humans and animals perceive and process the passage of time. This research area focuses on understanding how individuals experience and estimate the duration of intervals of time, as well as investigating the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying time perception. Researchers in this field seek to explore the subjective experience of time, temporal processing abilities, and how factors such as attention, emotion, and context influence our perception of time. Time perception research has implications for various fields, such as psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy.
