According to the clock, time proceeds at a constant rate: exactly one hour per hour, as it happens. But to our perceptions, the march of time is anything but uniform.
In this inaugural episode of the Monitor’s six-part podcast series “It’s About Time,” hosts Rebecca Asoulin and Eoin O’Carroll look into temporal illusions, what causes them, and how we can change the way we experience the passage of time.
They interview Peter Tse, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth College. He explains that our sense of time changes based on how much information we’re taking in. Shifting our perception of time, he says, is a matter of shifting our attention.
