Conversely, focusing our attention on something can also make time seem to move slower.

When the possibility of reward is present,

Stimuli are perceived as lasting longer than when there is little or no prospective reward.

These results seem to indicate that if a stimulus is associated with a reward, it becomes more salient, grabbing more of our attention and thus distorting how long we perceive it to last.

Time can also seem to move slower if we experience awe, likely from feeling more present and in the moment, or fear, possibly so we have more time to prepare and to react to fear-inducing stimuli.

Our experience of time is also influenced by cues from our bodies, visual input, body movements, and information we receive from our tissues,

are connected to time perception, leading to what is called the embodied perspective of time perception in humans, which tells us that our brain's interpretation of signals throughout our body is a crucial element of how we perceive time.

Well, who would have thought at the end of the year that Dave Hughes would give us what I think is maybe one of the most spiritual eps of the year, particularly at the end of the chat that we're about to play with him.

It's like I've known Dave since, you know, since Rove days, but like I feel like he's really evolved in a really incredible way.

So that's not a mode you're used to, that kind of?

I mean, I don't know him that well, but I've never heard him speak like that.

So, yeah.

So, it's pretty... I absolutely loved this chat so much more than I already knew I would.

There was every chance he was high as a kite, but we don't know that.

We don't know that.

But he was very, very... He said some quite profound things.

Yeah.
