many years ago during the Paleolithic I took a lot of defensive firearms classes. Various teachers emphasized the role of tryptaphasia. I know I’m misspelling it as googling the term gets nothing.
Basically it’s the phenomenon where, under high stress, the visual cortex over-processes and thus slows down transmission of sight to the conscious mind. This explains phenomenon of cases where (for example) two people will empty 17 rounds each at each other in an elevator and miss each other entirely: they are each shooting at a spot where they see the other person but where that person no longer is.
I was wondering: is there a test/app where a person can assess their susceptibility to this?
