Hi Mikael,
Would this experience have something to do with attention relating to
temporal processing?.If one presumes that in normal situations one's
perception of events involves integration over a certain duration, could
this experience involve, through increased attention, a certain change in
this integration constant. The problem with this idea, of course, is the
implication for timbre processing.
  No doubt, there a significant chemical influence as the level of adrenalin
increases in these extreme situations which would have an influence of the
processing of events.

Regards,
Deirdre
