With some way to measure the players enjoyment/desire maybe in 50 years we’ll see ‘lucid gaming’

Re: Living in a Lucid Dream
#4The below is not specific to lucid dreaming but more about experiments regarding consciousness and perceived passage of time:
- Researchers wanted to see how the "time slows down under extreme events" worked
- They created a watch that blinked a message at a time too fast for humans to see under normal circumstances
- They then had people bungee jump and try to read the watch during the jump
Turns out that people could not perceive the message even though they reported the "time slows down" effect during the jump.
This has led researchers to believe that humans are not actually processing events more quickly and/or time is perceived to slow down but rather this is a coping mechanism for dealing with extreme events.

That is far from a definitive experiment. It's not testing the perception of time, just visual acuity during unrelated stress event.

Most psychological experiments are far from difinitive due to the complexity and difficulty to measure abstract measurands like "perception".

Can they produce useful results then? Do you know of any instance where even though the experiment was limited it led to breakthrough?
Not asking to trap you into the induction problem (believing that something that happened in the past will happen in the future). I'm just curious.

That experiment seems a bit silly. Is anyone expecting time perception to actually take the form of basic sensory/cognitive processes running as if “overclocked”?
I certainly wouldn’t expect basic stuff like perceiving blinking messages to change, since nothing is really changing optically (at least controlled for other things like pupil dilation).
That’s just as silly as expecting someone to be able lift heavier weights when they’re perceiving time more slowly, since their muscles would exert the same energy in a shorter period of time (again, controlled for things like adrenaline).

>> read the watch
> It's not testing the perception of time
It's literally testing the perception of time?
