The new information is in contrast to the way the peripheral nervous system functions, processing gigabits of sensory data in a second, raising many questions for scientists



Our brain is not as fast as we might think, study reveals speed of human thought

Researchers from the California Institute of Technology have quantified the speed of the human brain at which it processes information, revealing we may not be as sharp as we might think.

The human brain can process some sentence structures in as little as 125 milliseconds, a power that scientists did not know existed till now, dispelling the notion that we decipher sentences word by word.

Our brains can process full sentences in split-seconds, just like we see photos, says study
