how fast does the brain process information
Your brain really IS faster than you think: It takes just 13 milliseconds to see an image, scientists discover. It might seem impossible to identify a dozen images flashing by in a fraction of a second. But a team of neuroscientists has found that the human brain can do just that at record-breaking speed.
That speed is almost eight times faster than the 100 milliseconds recorded by previous studies. The study suggests that while the images are seen for only 13 milliseconds before the next image appears, part of the brain continues to process those images for longer than that.
