- We perceive the passage of time based on the number of experiences we have — not some kind of internal clock, and increasing speed or output during an activity appears to affect how our brains perceive time https://www.unlv.edu/news/release/good-timing-unlv-study-unravels-how-our-brains-track-time 79 comments science

- Visual brain predicts future events based on past experience: For a long time, researchers thought of the visual cortex as a brain area that determines what you perceive based on information coming from the eyes. Neuroscientists now show that the area is also involved in predicting future events. http://www.ru.nl/english/news-agenda/news/vm/donders/cognitive-neuroscience/2017/visual-brain-predicts-future-events/ 3 comments cogsci
- Language shapes how the brain perceives time - people who speak two languages fluently think about time differently depending on the language context in which they are estimating the duration of events. The finding is reported in the ‘Journal of Experimental Psychology: General’. http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/news/articles/2017/language-shapes-how-the-brain-perceives-time/ 155 comments science
- Brain circuits run their own clocks - how fast neurons work seems to determine how we perceive time, and could hint at how things go wrong in stressful situations. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22446-brain-circuits-run-their-own-clocks.html?cmpid=rss%7Cnsns%7C2012-global%7Conline-news 16 comments science
- The human perception of time as a sequence of moments is just a neurological artifact, an outgrowth of the chunk-by-chunk way our brains perceive reality. As the famous geneticist J. B. S. Haldane said: The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.06/physics.html?pg=2&topic=physics&topic_set= 106 comments science
- Do you see what I see? Researchers harness brain waves to reconstruct images of what we perceive using machine learning. This is the first time EEG has been used. fMRI captures activity at the time scale of seconds, but EEG captures activity at the millisecond scale, which provides finer detail. http://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/breaking-research/do-you-see-what-i-see-researchers-harness-brain-waves-reconstruct-images-what-we 32 comments science
