PloS one, 2(12), e1295. https://dx.doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0001295</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 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. | In terms of its intensity, this effect usually manifests subtly, only slightly slowing down a person's perception of motion.
