Thinking Slowly: The Paradoxical Slowness of Human Behavior
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=116514&nl=daily
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 billion 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 inputs at once?

A bit is a basic unit of information in computing. A typical Wi-Fi
connection, for example, can process 50 million bits per second. In
the new study, Zheng applied techniques from the field of information
theory to a vast amount of scientific literature on human behaviors
such as reading and writing, playing video games, and solving Rubik's
Cubes, to calculate that humans think at a speed of 10 bits per
second.

Editor's Note: Another conundrum that the new study raises is: Why
does the brain process one thought at a time rather than many in
parallel the way our sensory systems do? For example, a chess player
envisioning a set of future moves can only explore one possible
sequence at a time rather than several at once. The study suggests
that this is perhaps due to how our brains evolved.

Football fans have been calling the New York Jets a cursed team for

MLB. By losing at home, 19-9, to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the
Jets extended their horrible record to 4-11, confirming their greater

about change, measured during the anticipation stage of an
