Life and Thought
Marc Wittmann is a German psychologist and researcher working in the fields of time perception, consciousness, embodiment, and subjective experience. He is known for his works on "lived time" and altered states of consciousness, and has sought to bridge the findings of experimental psychology and neuroscience with philosophical questions about time and self-awareness.
Marc Wittmann is a German psychologist and researcher in the field of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. The central focus of his work is time perception and the subjective experience of time; how humans experience the passage of time, the present moment, anticipation, and the acceleration or deceleration of moments, and how this experience is linked to the body, attention, emotion, and self-awareness.
Wittmann has conducted research at the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health in Freiburg, Germany. His research lies at the intersection of experimental psychology, neuropsychology, and the philosophy of mind, and is particularly significant for understanding the relationship between subjective time, bodily experience, and the feeling of the continuity of the "self."
Among his well-known works are books on the experience of time and altered states of consciousness. In these works, Wittmann examines topics such as boredom, anticipation, meditation, the use of psychedelic substances, the experience of the present moment, and the relationship between time and consciousness. The importance of his work lies in linking classical questions about time with empirical data from psychology and neuroscience.
