Our brain measures time by counting experiences, not by following a strict chronological order.
A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests that there’s a lot of truth to the trope “time flies when you’re having fun.”
In their study, recently published in the journal Current Biology, the researchers discovered that our perception of time is based on the number of experiences we have, not on an internal clock. Additionally, they found that increasing speed or output during an activity appears to affect how our brains perceive time.
