The perception of time is a fascinating aspect of human cognition, shaped by a complex interplay of psychological, neurological, and environmental factors.

As evidenced by the podcast episodes provided, the subjective experience of time can vary greatly based on one's circumstances and mental state. For example, time appears to fly by when we're having fun, a phenomenon known as the 'oddball effect', and time seems to pass more quickly as we age due to encountering fewer novel experiences.

Additionally, Dr. Huberman's 'perceptual exercise' demonstrates how intentionally shifting between different time domains can enhance cognitive function and task-switching abilities.
