TL;DR: In this article , the authors argue that the experience of time passage has a real and measurable basis as it arises from an internal generative model for anticipating upcoming events, which is not merely a representation by a passive recipient of sensory stimulation but is generated by predictive processes of the brain and proactive sensorimotor activity of the whole body.
Abstract: The passage of time pertains to the dynamic happening of anticipated future events merging into a present actuality and subsequently becoming the past. Philosophers and scientists alike often endorse the view that the passage of time is an illusion. Here we instead account for the phenomenology of time passage as a real psycho-biological phenomenon. We argue that the experience of time passage has a real and measurable basis as it arises from an internal generative model for anticipating upcoming events. The experience of passage is not merely a representation by a passive recipient of sensory stimulation but is generated by predictive processes of the brain and proactive sensorimotor activity of the whole body. Although some philosophical approaches to time consider some psycho-biological evidence, the biological basis of the passage of time has not been examined in detail from a thorough scientific perspective. This paper proposes to remedy this omission.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of task difficulty on perceived duration under a dual-task paradigm was investigated and two potential factors that may play a role in perceived duration were investigated: success and confidence.
Abstract: Time is constant but it has been repeatedly shown that our perception of time is impacted by many factors. This is evidenced by the growing literature on temporal distortions. The interference effect, the finding that we tend to underestimate temporal durations when temporal processing is disrupted by a secondary (non-temporal) task, has been widely observed in the time literature. However, within the sub-second range the influence of a secondary task on temporal processing has been less-studied and the subject of much debate. In this study we looked at the effect of task difficulty on perceived duration under a dual-task paradigm. Additionally, we investigated two potential factors that may play a role in perceived duration: success and confidence. While no significant effects were found for our three main factors, we propose that our main contribution is our original dual-task visual search paradigm. Our negative results are discussed further with regard to the distinct timing hypothesis, which proposes distinct mechanisms for sub-second and supra-second timing.

TL;DR: This paper used a temporal bisection task between 400 and 1600 ms to compare the time perception of individuals with higher and lower autistic traits, and explore the regulation of interpersonal information on their time perception by establishing associations between identities and geometric shapes.
Abstract: People with high subthreshold autistic traits usually share behavioral patterns similar to those of individuals on the autism spectrum, but with fewer social and cognitive changes. The effect of autistic traits on time perception and the role of interpersonal information in this effect remain unexplored.This study used a temporal bisection task between 400 and 1600 ms to compare the time perception of individuals with higher and lower autistic traits, and to explore the regulation of interpersonal information on their time perception by establishing associations between identities and geometric shapes. Thirty-two participants with high autistic traits and thirty-one participants with low autistic traits participated in this study.In the absence of identity information, people with high autistic traits tended to judge short durations as longer. Their subjective bisection point was lower, and the Weber ratio was higher than for those with low autistic traits, suggesting that their overestimation of short duration was due to decreased temporal sensitivity. With the involvement of interpersonal information, the proportion of long responses for no identity was significantly lower than for self, friends, and strangers, which seemed more obvious in individuals with low autistic traits although there was no significant interaction between identity and group. The Weber ratio of no identity was lower than that for other identities.The results suggest that individuals with high autistic traits have more conservative responses that are relatively shorter in duration, and this change is related to a decline in perceptual sensitivity. Compared to individuals with high autistic traits, the time perception of individuals with low autistic traits seemed more susceptible to interpersonal information.
