It took me considerable time to realise this but I've always had extremely quick reflexes. There are those games you play where you have to press the lit up panel before your opponent presses his/hers or you get a little shock. Someone brought that to work one day and I played against several of the physical education teachers (one of whom was particularly cocky) but I still don't know what that shock feels like. When I used to pay netball as a kid there was a part in the game where you stand three feet apart and the ball is tossed up between you and your opponent and the person with the quickest reflexes grabs it for their team. I rarely ever missed that ball. I also recently had a "puff test" on my eyes to test my maculars. Again, the reflex was extremely quick; the optometrist expressing surprise and saying it was well outside the average range. At the same time, I feel my brain has slowed down in terms of recalling knowledge I've had for years, even trivial stuff, as I've aged. I've long entertained the notion that quick reflexes might be the result of the kind precognition that seems supported by the studies Eyeoneblack and Volgerie have referenced.
