Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have uncovered a surprising truth about the speed of human thought: our ...

For each modality, some examples of sensory systems that use that modality are provided. Akesson, S. & Backman, J. Orientation in pied flycatchers: The relative importance of magnetic and visual ...

The brain processes 10 bits per second, much slower than sensory input. Early brains evolved for survival, limiting human ...

Scientists recently quantified the brain’s speed limit. The Brain processes signals from sensory organs at only about 10 bits ...

Our multidisciplinary and innovative approach to neuroscience research allows us to explore how sensory inputs are detected and processed by the nervous system in health and disease. The sensory ...

The brain is sometimes called the most complex machine in the known universe. But the thoughts that it outputs putter along at a trifling 10 bits per second, the pace of a conversation ...

When the sensory receptors in the nervous system malfunction, as they’re theorized to do in SPD, common stimuli like lights, noises, and textures may be perceived as too bright, too loud ...
