There doesn't seem to be much evidence for this. People with damage
to MT, or certain types of visual migrane, see the world as a slow
jerky series of snapshots (like looking at a webcam with a low frame
rate). The temporal resolution of consciousness may actually be quite
slow - on the 0.5 second time frame as originally described by Grey
Walter.
Oh, I don't know about that: a good musician can hear the difference
between a string of 64th notes (hemidemisemiquavers) and the same string
with a 64th rest in the middle...
At d=120 that would be a fair bit more than 0.5 sec resolution ;-)
