Tunnel Vision Tunnel vision is the loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision. (wiki) Our mind has limits to how fast it can process information. According to a study, the human mind can effectively process only 13-15 frames per second of vision. In a close-proximity moving environment like that while driving a human mind is estimated to comfortably process information at no more than 72 MPH (140 KMPH). Beyond those speeds, fading or tunneling might be experienced. While moving above these speeds, the human mind goes into survival mode and sees only the objects right in front of the eyes. It starts ignoring peripheral visual inputs in order to focus on survival. This is where tunneling is experienced. The increased g-force at high speeds is also considered as one possible reason. Due to high g-forces, the blood flow to the brain might not be proper, which could lead to a lack of vision.
