Episode 5: Time Expansion Experiences with Steve Taylor

He tells us about his research into the unusual states of consciousness when time appears to slow down. These often happen during life-threatening events but are also experienced by elite athletes and in meditation or spiritual encounters. Steve has gathered data from many people who have experienced significant changes to their perception of time and identified some striking consistencies. Many people, for instance, find they have remarkable abilities to achieve complex thought processes and sets of tasks during very short periods of time.
