Caltech researchers have quantified the speed of human thought: a rate of 10 bits per second. However, our bodies' sensory ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Researchers calculated that the human brain processes thought at a speed of ten bits per second. Andriy Onufriyenko via Getty Images The human brain is a biological marvel, stuffed with some 86 ...

Have you ever wondered how fast our brains work? Well, scientists have recently quantified the brain’s speed limit. They revealed that from sensory organs, the brain processes signals at only about 10 ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

The human brain takes about 100 ms to process information, then about another 100 ms to decide to move in response. Did you just blink reading that sentence? That's about how long we're talking about.
