Subjective time is not isomorphic to physical time [1]: the subjective duration of an event can be systematically overestimated, a phenomenon referred to as "time dilation", "time subjective expansion" [2] or "chronostasis" [3], [4].
Subjective time dilation was consistently found in auditory, visual and auditory-visual presentations for a visual stimulus increasing in size, and an auditory event increasing in frequency (Loom experiment).

In this study, oscillatory brain activity was measured with EEG while subjects indicated their subjective time point of motion reversal.
Two different mathematical models were applied to our data: a power law functional dependence between mean subjective time and real time, and a linear relationship between timing variability and standard duration.
The Psychophysical Law and Weber's Law were modeled, respectively, by (1) the functional dependence between mean subjective time and real time (2) the linearity of the relationship between timing variability and duration.
At the other end of the life spectrum, conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease are also associated with inaccuracy in timing short intervals, as well as with difficulty in travelling back in subjective time to remember the past.
Interdisciplinary perspectives on the feature of conscious life that scaffolds every act of cognition: subjective time.

However, the method suffers from numerous issues such as being subjective, time consuming and labor intensive.
However, whether the oxytocin system is involved in human subjective time perception is unknown.
