Why does time race when you’re having fun… yet crawl during a boring meeting?If humans truly have no sensory organ for time, why does time feel so vivid — sometimes painfully slow, sometimes gone in a blink?In this episode, we dive into a surprising idea from modern neuroscience: time is not sensed — it is constructed. Your brain doesn’t read time from the outside world. Instead, it builds the feeling of time from rhythms inside your own body.You’ll discover how heartbeats, breathing, neural oscillations, and memory work together to create your personal timeline. We’ll explore why attention, emotion, and bodily states can stretch or compress time — and why your past often feels strangely condensed compared to the present.Time, it turns out, is not a ticking clock.It’s a living rhythm, woven from brain activity, body signals, and memory.🔬 Source paper:Time, space, memory and brain–body rhythmsNature Reviews Neuroscience, Volume 27, pages 61–78 (2026)#TimePerception #Neuroscience #BrainBody #TheIllusionOfTime #SciencePodcast #Memory #RhythmsOfLife ⏱️🧬
