Episode 7 of Brains and Time explores why time seems to break under pressure and blur in everyday life. From trauma’s slow-motion illusion to childhood’s endless summers, neuroscience reveals that memory, not clocks, shapes duration. Discover how adrenaline, attention, novelty, and meaning stretch or compress experience, and why the brain may generate time itself. This episode reframes time as a psychological construction, sculpted by emotion, memory density, and the stories we live. Nothing lasts as it seems.
