In very extreme intense situations my brain seams to slow down time and automatically know what to do, yeah im sure most of you are saying "bull" but it's the truth.
I don't doubt that you experience the sensations, but research shows that it's an illusion - it doesn't enable you to make more or faster decisions.

You may be correct. However, to cite this uncited non peer reviewed study is laughable.
I too have experience the feeling that time slowed down. During a car wreck, or while taking a difficult running shot, or some other intense experience. I don't know if my decisions were better, but they would be instantaneous without thinking. Gut instincts if you will. Afterwards, I could recall details with clarity that happened incredibly fast and it gave me the sense of time slowing down.

This article supports the theory of enhanced memory during such times.
