‘Understanding Time Perception’ explores how our brains construct our subjective experience of time, a concept far from being a fixed reality. This book delves into the neuroscience and psychology of time, revealing how emotions, attention, and cognitive processes shape our temporal experience. Interestingly, our perception of time can be influenced and even retrained.
The book highlights that the more attentive we are to a moment, the longer it seems, illustrating how focus modulates time perception. The book progresses from outlining the neural networks involved in timing, such as the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia, to examining how psychological factors like emotions can compress or expand our felt sense of time.
Using evidence from human behavioral studies and neuroimaging experiments, the book bridges neuroscience and psychology to offer actionable strategies for managing and optimizing one’s perception of time, including mindfulness exercises. This interdisciplinary approach provides readers with tools to cultivate a healthier relationship with time, enhancing overall well-being and cognitive performance.
