The more dopamine that's released into our brain, the more we tend to overestimate how much time has passed. These experiments are very straightforward and objective. At the 38-second mark, people might say, "I think a minute is up."

Entrainment is the way in which your internal processes, your brain, and your body synchronize with external time cues.
