"Time's Tumult: How the Pandemic Distorted our Perception"

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our perception of time, according to a study by cognitive neuroscientist Nina Rouhani and colleagues. The study found that the pandemic compressed the distance between remembered events, making time seem to shrink in our memories. Additionally, the study confirmed that negative emotions can improve memory recall but also blur the details of those memories. Understanding how memory and time perception are influenced by events and emotions can provide insights into how to heal from traumatic experiences and envision a brighter future. Further research is needed to explore the effects of different forms of monotony on time perception.
