On the magic of 10 bits/s: A surprise constraint on the channel capacity of machine and human intelligence.

2025-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<p>A recent article by Zheng and Meister [Neuron, 113(2), 192–204. (2025)] reveals what seems to be a surprising constraint on the capacity for the human mind to process information: a limit of 10 bits/s. In this short response, I aim to reconcile the compelling evidence presented by Zheng and Meister, with the no-less compelling demands of common sense: how could our minds possibly be that slow? My answer is twof...
