Revising effect, tentatively changing name in article. I believe the change reflects the experience and nature of the effect more accurately

<onlyinclude>'''Visual Processing Acceleration''' increases the speed at which a person can perceive and interpret rapidly occurring events. It is most commonly experienced during events which are felt to be either dangerous, intense, or highly novel.<ref>Time Really Does Seem to Slow Down for Athletes (Gizmodo) | https://gizmodo.com/5940562/time-really-does-seem-to-slow-down-for-athletes</ref><ref>Impaired time perception and motor timing in stimulant-dependent subjects (ncbi) | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1997301/</ref><ref>Time Slows Down during Accidents (ncbi) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3384265/</ref><ref>Does Time Really Slow Down during a Frightening Event? | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2110887/</ref> The effect gives the appearance that the external environment is being viewed in slow motion and that brief moments of time have been "stretched out". For example, fast moving objects such as birds, insects, and cars may begin to present themselves as clearly viewable instead of as fleeting blurs of motion, as they may during every day sobriety.


In terms of its intensity, this effect can be subtle in its appearance in a manner which only slightly slows down a person's perception of motion. However, at higher levels, this effect can temporarily bring the speed of events down to an almost complete standstill.  
In terms of its intensity, this effect usually manifests subtly, only slightly slowing down a person's perception of motion. However, in rare cases, this effect can temporarily slow the visual perception of time to a near stand-still, causing events to appear dramatically slower.


Frame rate enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[acuity enhancement]] and [[thought acceleration]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]].</onlyinclude>
