Time perception disturbances
The scarce literature on disturbances of time-sense in migraine aura includes case reports documenting the subjective experience of an abnormal tempo to events manifesting as "the rushes" (Dooley et al., 1990), i.e. the so-called time-lapse phenomenon or Zeitrafferphänomen, the phenomenon of reduplication of time (Painter, 1909/10) or the experience of a disordered sense of the passage of on-going time (Ebersbach and Poewe, 1996). If systematically investigated in the interval between attacks, however, no disturbances of time perception could be demonstrated in migraineurs, except for a subgroup of migraine sufferers with a depressive disorder who showed a marked speeding up of their internal timekeeping mechanisms, pointing to depression as an important covariable in time perception (Anagnostou and Mitsikostas, 2005).
