Time Perception with Dr Devin Terhune: Time perception and the average person

The video explores the role of dopamine in time perception, drawing insights from animal studies and clinical populations like Parkinson's and schizophrenia. It highlights the use of spontaneous blink rates as a proxy for dopamine levels and examines how these levels affect temporal precision and bias. The discussion extends to schizotypy and its potential link to temporal distortions, suggesting dopamine's broader influence on cognitive functions.

What insights can be gained from studying clinical populations regarding time perception?

How does dopamine influence the perception of time in both healthy individuals and those with clinical conditions?

What is the relationship between spontaneous blink rates and dopamine levels?

What discrepancies exist in the relationship between dopamine levels and time perception across different populations?

How do variations in dopamine levels affect temporal precision in neurotypical individuals?

In what ways do individuals with high schizotypy differ in their temporal perception compared to neurotypical individuals?

What are the potential links between magical thinking and temporal perception as discussed in the text?
