Is there a way to try this experiment? Some neurochemical that slows down rate of neuronal firing by 10x? Presumably our time resolution is related to rate of state changes in neocortex.

If our time consciousness had a resolution of 1 second instead of 0.1 second we’d experience reality as a somewhat jerky movie. Like a movie sampled every 30 frames.

Alcohol has a retarding effect on certain neuronal firing. One area this affects is vision: specifically, our saccades--the ability to shift focus--which becomes jerky. Not sure that we cognitively correspond this altered visual input back to perception of time, though
