One thought at a time, 10 bits per second
The max speed limit of the human brain
The pace of casual conversation
Nothing faster than a telephone line
Sensory systems: sight, smell, and hearing
One hundred million times faster than thought
An illusion of detail and contrast
The paradox of human cognition
Each slow thought enters conscious memory
Millions of sensory inputs guide it
Prefrontal cortex— loaded with neurons
Creating complex solutions and plans
All the data learned over one lifetime
From one person, could fit on one jump drive
