A sensory integration account for time perception

In short

The authors built a computational model using data from human touch experiments and rat whisker movements to explain how we perceive time. They found that their model successfully linked changes in stimulus intensity to perceived duration and vice versa by simulating how nerve signals are processed. This work provides a new framework for understanding how the brain creates a sense of time passing alongside our tactile experiences.

The summaries on this page were written by a small AI model running on my own computer, from the paper's abstract. They can get details wrong; the paper is the source.
