I say BS to this!

Explain how anyone can hit a 90 MPH+ fastball if images in the brain are delayed?

Obviously you are correct.

Visual cortex takes 0.3 seconds identify an image, but that's still not fast enough to hit a fastball, or to make a QB play in the NFL.

fMRI now shows there is a much faster, though less-processed, response from the Amygdala. I'm pretty sure this is the secret of successful athletics, advanced martial arts etc.

I think the basic premise here is that all of the fixed surroundings essentially get “background refreshed” while you do have an active real time zone that focused in a narrower area of vision. Something also keys that, like motion, or you’d never have “out of the corner of your eye” moments…

Well the way some drive in Raleigh if there is a 15 second delay in what we see I will soon be run over. Never said I believe it just that the thought is darn scary.
