Fundamental aspects of time perception

The problem of time perception is largely related with a psychophysical problem. First of all, there is the question can we reduce perception of time or some of its aspects to human brain properties or to human body properties at all, or may be it is based on collective society rhythms as E. Durkheim proposed, on language forms as B. L. Whorf thought, or just on habits as some postmodernists wrote. S. Rubinstein suggested the time perception conception based on at first on the sensations duration and on time perception in itself, which can be divided into two components: duration perception and sequences perception. On the assumption of scientific research results the four time perception aspects: rhythm, duration, simultaneity, sequence were revealed. It is confirmed by S. Rubinstein, A. Makla-kov, L. Vekker's works and also by the last scientific researches including researches by Bradford university scientists which have discovered the "time channels" formation in the brain that remembers frequency and duration of events (2011), and also hyppocampus researches by scientist from Boston university (2011). MIT (2011, 2014), Californian institute (2014). Herewith, even if time itself is no more then a human illusion as some philosophers and even physicists believe, the perception of events sequences has a specific requirement in the directional realization of successive events series. The events sequence perception violation results the serious violations of conscious operations: without an opportunity of such perception the orientation loos in surround world and own conscious are observed, that in its turn can results full depersonalization. Thus, even perception of time is no more than illusion, specifically this illusion as type of mental state is necessary condition of human conscious being.
