Abstract
Our perception of time influences a diverse array of cognitive functions and constrains our conscious experience of the world. Considerable progress has achieved in understanding the factors that influence how we perceive the passage of time but why time is perceived differently across individuals or states of consciousness is poorly understood. Here I will describe research by others and myself concerning the factors that relate to variability in time perception, both between and within individuals and how the perception of duration can be manipulated. These results point to the important roles of dopamine and frontal-striatal circuitry in time perception, but also highlight significant gaps in our knowledge especially pertaining to heterogeneity in time perception.
