“…Recent research advancements are putting forward exciting new solutions to try to overcome some of these limitations. For instance, the use of continuous naturalistic stimuli, such as movies, has the power to profoundly modify experience ( Kovarski et al 2022 ), including emotion ( Saarimäki 2021 ), which can be measured over time on multiple dimensions, without loss of complexity. Continuous behavioral reports of affective (e.g.…”

The search for neural correlates of emotional consciousness has gained momentum in the last decades. Nonetheless, disagreements concerning the mechanisms that determine the experiential qualities of emotional consciousness—the “what is it like” to feel an emotion—as well as on their neural correlates have far-reaching consequences on how researchers study and measure emotion, sometimes leading to seemingly irresolvable impasses. The current paper lays out in a balanced way the viewpoint of both cognitive and precognitive approaches to emotional consciousness on the basis of commonalities and differences between the claims of some relevant theories of emotions. We examine the sufficiency of the existing evidence in support of the proposed theories of emotional consciousness by going through the methodological specificity of the study of emotional consciousness and its unique challenges and highlighting what can and cannot be imported by advances in research on perceptual consciousness. We propose that there are three key experimental contrasts that are each equally necessary in the search for the neural correlates of emotional consciousness and each contrast alone coming with its own limitations. We conclude by acknowledging some of the most promising avenues in the field, which may help go beyond the current limitations and collaboratively piece together the puzzle of emotional consciousness.

“…Time perception depends not only on endogenous factors, such as attentional, motivational, and physiological levels 17 , 18 , but also on exogenous factors, such as speed of motion, stimulus complexity 19 , salience of visual stimulus features 20 , and spatial, temporal, social context 21 or environment 22 . Previous studies have frequently employed experimental paradigms such as temporal order or duration judgements to assess time perception of short intervals.…”

Time perception is inherently subjective and malleable. We experience a wide range of time scales, from less than a second to decades. In addition, our perception of time can be affected by our attentional and emotional states. Previous psychological and neuroimaging studies have used several paradigms and methods to probe factors that influence time perception. Considering these factors facilitates approaches to improve time management and to enhance sensory experiences. This Collection of time perception studies includes reports that focus on stimulus property, physiological state, cross-modal interaction, attention, learning, age, and environment. These findings help to illuminate the complex mechanisms of time perception. Humans have no absolute sense of time. Time perception is fundamentally subjective and depends on one's experiences and circumstances. Moments of excitement and joy can seem dizzyingly faster, whereas moments of boredom and stress can feel interminable 1 , illustrating how attentional and emotional states affect time perception. Also, time perception has critical effects on many cognitive abilities and motor skills. For instance, we can play the piano with quick movements. Accurate temporal and rhythmic performance are important not only for playing music, but also for multisensory perception, language, and motor planning 2,3 . In addition, we may vividly recall memories from years ago. We have a broad range of time scales 4 . These timings appear to be underpinned by different neural mechanisms 5 . The brain navigates and processes time ranges from subsecond to year, highlighting its remarkable adaptability and complexity.The more often we pay attention to the passage of time, the longer we perceive time to be 6 . Our perception of the passage of time may vary as a function of age and education 7 or mood state 8 . This is probably consistent with the contextual-change hypothesis that the perceived duration of an event is affected by the number of contextual changes 9 . Extending this idea may explain how different age groups perceive time differently. For boys and girls, holiday adventures are hard to come by. Adults have many routine activities and time seems to pass at an accelerated pace. Relative to adults, children may use heuristic methods for duration estimation 10 . However, it should be noted that feeling the passage of time and estimating duration may employ different mechanisms of time perception 11 .A simple explanation for the perceived compression and expansion of time is the event-density hypothesis. This postulates that the number of events occurring during a certain period affects perception of time intervals 12 , assuming that the "internal clock" counts at a constant rhythm 13 . Directing attention to salient stimuli or engaging in complex tasks increases internal pulses, i.e., the density of events, resulting in the perception that time is passing quickly 6 . This hypothesis is consistent with the idea that cellular metabolism and the internal clock are intimately interc...
