Clock Time versus Brain Time: What's the Difference?

Clock time is just what it sounds like—time passing on the clock, minute by minute, hour by hour. It’s external and objective. But brain time is the subjective experience of how your brain perceives the passage of time. You’ve all experienced brain time when you zone out while doing something repetitive and then suddenly snap back to reality, feeling like no time has passed. Yet, clock time was steadily ticking away the whole time. That’s the difference: clock time never changes, but brain time is flexible and entirely subjective.
