How is it that we see the world almost instantaneously? Shouldn’t it take much longer to interpret so many photons which are bombarding the eyes with speed of light? Shouldn’t our vision lag?
In: 3
It does take about 0.7 seconds to become conscious of some types of incoming light stimulation but your mind creates a fluid perception which does not bring attention to human’s blindspots or brain processes. This way your perception of the world seems seamless but in reality the brain is making up a lot of what you see to keep it looking seamless, but it is not even close to reality just close enough to keep you alive. Your subconscious is processing things faster but our vision does not lag because a giant portion of the brain is spent on processing incoming visual and auditory stimulation.
