The personal experience of time during extreme perspective-dependent conditions remains poorly understood at the convergence of physics and neuroscience. We present an abstract framework that differentiates four temporal variables external coordinate time, traveller proper time, neural execution time, and perceptual time to analyse the conditions necessary for conscious experience during high-velocity transit. Our analysis exemplifies that, while special relativity forecasts dramatic time dilation in the traveller’s frame, all biological processes remain constrained by the traveller’s proper time. We derive the minimum proper time threshold (∼50–100 ms) required for conscious apprehension based on neural dynamics fluctuations and show that near-light-speed travel over interstellar distances can provide adequate proper time for rich individualised experiences, whereas certain spacetime continuum shortcuts may not. We connect this paradigm to terrestrial analogues in neuropsychiatric pathologies, where temporal processing layers decouple, and propose biomedical engineering approaches for consciousness monitoring during future astronautics. The framework generates testable projections through computational neuroscience simulations, virtual reality projections, and patient studies. We explicitly acknowledge the risky nature of wormhole applications and the dearth of direct experimental validation for relativistic consciousness studies.
