Human thought speed

Human cognition, the foundation of thought, decision-making, and problem-solving, is often assumed to operate at lightning speed, especially when compared to machines. However, recent groundbreaking research has revealed that the speed limit of human thought is far slower than many might expect, challenging previously held assumptions about our cognitive abilities. In fact, human brains process information at an astonishingly slow rate, despite taking in data at remarkable speeds. According to new research, the brain processes information at just 10 bits per second — a stark contrast to the billion-plus bits of sensory data our peripheral nervous system can handle every … Read more
