Elon Musk’s aspiration to create a brain-computer interface reflects a deep frustration with human communication speed, yet research reveals the brain can only process information at 10 bits per second, significantly slower than anticipated.
Despite the ambition to enhance communication, the reality is that the human brain processes thoughts at a meager 10 bits per second, leading to a disconnect between human sensory data intake and cognitive processing speed.
The study reveals that our brains can realistically handle only one slow task at a time; even if a direct brain-computer connection were established, it wouldn't significantly enhance communication speed.
