Study Reveals Human Thought Speed is Surprisingly Slow Compared to Technology

Credited from: SALON

  • The study in the journal Neuron reveals that human brains process information at a much slower rate than anticipated.
  • Researchers from the California Institute of Technology measured thinking speeds via tasks like solving a Rubik's Cube.
  • It was concluded that the average human thought speed is about 10 bits per second, compared to hundreds of millions for Wi-Fi.
  • The brain operates in two modes: the 'outer' brain for fast sensory signals and the 'inner' brain for slower processing.
  • Despite this slow processing speed, it's sufficient for human survival and adaptation to environmental demands.
