At an anti Viet Nam war protest in NYC our small group was attacked repeatedly. When we went to leave they grabbed a frail young kid, one holding him and another began to hit him.
I slung my camera over my back and jumped on the back of the guy pummeling the kid. When he turned to come after me I tried to melt into the crowd but couldn't. As he charged at me I experienced the slow motion phenomena and was able to knock him out with one punch.
I would say it wasn't memory but the speeding up of messenger cells
Suppose that rather than thinking of memory in frames per second one should think of it in terms of information per second. This would give a measure of the intesity of focus. This might indeed give us a new view into time itself as a flow of information.
I truly believe you are on the right track with your comment that we look at time as a flow of information. It melds an understanding of time as a state of consciousness that is supported by brain structure and function, and it is measurable. The big job will be identifying all input sources and nature of their inputs.
Sounds like an adrenalin rush,and again the article doesn't mention adrenalin.
The click train effect is the same as listening to certain types of music while driving a car.As the beat speeds up so do you and the car.Nothing really new there.
