The sense of time is foundational for perception and action, yet it frequently departs significantly from physical time. In the talk I will examine a few selected duration-related temporal phenomena and related computational models, and show how those phenomena can be parsimoniously explained within the Bayesian inference framework, in which subjective time is an outcome of adaptive processes of the brain that minimize the overall estimation error to boost the reliability of estimation of external temporal structures.
