I discovered one thing about my hearing that, I think, implies the same thing this article is talking about. When we hear a quick sequence of distinct sounds, like a ringing bell for instance, depending on how fast one sound follows the other we may be aware of each individual sound or perceive everything as a blur. Now what I observed is that the threshold between “individual sounds” and “blurry” is determined by the brain, not by the physics of sound. Our brains have a “clock speed” which limits the “sample rate” for our perception of reality. I suspect that the internal clock slows down as we age. That wouldn’t affect our perception of the speed of physical events, because those are relative to each other, but it would reduce the ratio of physical events per “clock cycles”, giving us the sensation of a shrinking of the time dimension. The past becomes more “blurry”, so to speak.
