From: Engaging narratives evoke similar neural activity and lead to similar time perception

Engagement predicts the variability of time perception. Viewers estimated the duration of time intervals within each video. Each point represents a time interval in a video. (a) The duration of intervals with high neural engagement were perceived less variably across viewers (r = −0.27, p = 0.0009, and r = −0.23, p = 0.05, N = 129 intervals for all 10 videos, for restricted and expanded range, respectively). Comparisons are made across two independent cohorts who had either a restricted range (blue, 8–16 s) or expanded range (red, 4–20 s) available for their time duration estimates. All time measures are displayed on a perceptual log-seconds scale.
