Neuroscience

I keep thinking of animals (such as pigeons) who experience the world at a higher FPS, i.e. in slow motion / higher temporal resolution relative to us

Humans experience this occasionally e.g. when going through an accident / life-threatening situation

Is it possible to chemically induce this state of hyper vigilance?

Modafinil? I don’t think it promotes vigilance in the sense of experiencing world in slow motion, but surely promotes wakefulness.

thankfully never had such headache and made me Excel god king for 24 hours straight then I realised I benefited nothing from it, my employer did

I tried Modafinil… gave me THE WORST headache! I can’t even tell you if it actually helped me focus or not ￼.. oh I was focused on that headache lol

I'm talking about experimental/non-OTC stuff that has been shown to put people into an extreme state of hypervigilance, like when your brain is flooded with adrenaline from a fight-or-flight response. When you actually feel that everything around you is slowing down, you pick up all the details, you think twice as fast
