"[I]t's really about understanding the virtual reality machinery that we're trapped in. Our brain constructs this reality for us that, if we look closely, we can find all these strange illusions in." -- David Eagleman, as quoted in "Why Time Seems to Slow Down in Emergencies", by Charles Q. Choi, LiveScience.com, 2007-12-11

[Happy New Year to any of my readers practicing Theravadin Buddhism!]

[And for my Jewish friends who haven't seen yesterday's QotD entry yet, blessed Passover!]

That experiment leaves an interesting question-- during emergencies, do people perceive and react faster in ways that are relevent to the emergency?
