Time perception, or chronoception, is the subjective experience and cognitive sense of time, which is measured by an individual's perception of the duration of unfolding events. Although directly experiencing another person's perception of time is impossible, it can be objectively studied and inferred through various psychological and neuroscientific experiments.
