The Human Brain Operates at a Stunningly Slow Pace

The researchers also discovered the speed of the body's sensory systems The mysteries of the brain are little by little being unraveled by scientists. This time, the question “At what speed does a human being process a thought?” was finally answered in a study published this Tuesday (17) in the scientific journal Neuron.

Study quantifies the speed of human thought: 10 bits per second; understand

Caltech researchers have quantified the speed of human thought: a rate of 10 bits per second. However, our bodies' sensory systems gather data about our environments at a rate of a trillion bits per second, which is 100 million times faster than our thought processes. This new study raises major new avenues of exploration for neuroscientists, in particular: Why can we only think one thing at a time while our sensory systems process thousands of …

The brain's processing paradox: Study quantifies the speed of human thought

A Caltech team found that our brain processes conscious thoughts surprisingly slowly. Worse still, there is no such thing as true multitasking

Ein Caltech-Team stellte fest, dass unser Gehirn bewusste Gedanken verblüffend langsam verarbeitet. Schlimmer noch: Echtes Multitasking gibt es auch nicht
