Scientific basis for combat-hyping

[Bob Schroeck]

Well, I've always styled the combat-hype in the stories as a form of adrenal overdrive, which has been seen in the real world. This is different, but it could certainly contribute to Doug's perceptual speed-up. In GURPS terms, Doug has a switchable boost to Speed linked to and a few levels of Enhanced Time Sense (the latter of which is what the article points at).
