Consequently, how much information does our brain process?
The brain processes 400 Billion bitsofinformation a second. BUT, we are ONLY aware of 2,000ofthose?" -Dr. Joseph Dispenza, D.C. The average "clock speed"ofneurons in the brain is a mere 200 firingspersecond.
Also, how much of our brain is unconscious? According to cognitive neuroscientists, we areconsciousof only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity,so mostof our decisions, actions, emotions, and behaviordepends onthe 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyondourconscious awareness.
Subsequently, question is, how many bits of information can the conscious mind process?
In other words, the human body sends 11millionbits per second to the brain forprocessing,yet the conscious mind seems to be able toprocessonly 50 bits per second.
