the human brain processes information at just 10 bits […] This is no accident […] the brain is built this way for survival. Instead of getting overwhelmed by a flood of details, the brain has a system to focus on what matters most. It ensures we act quickly and effectively without being bogged down by unnecessary information. Technological advancements like Elon Musk’s Neuralink promise to bridge the gap between the brain and machines by creating direct neural interfaces. However, the study shows that even with this technology, the brain’s natural processing cap remains at 10 bits per second. The limitation is biological, not technological. This bottleneck is especially relevant to fields like neuroprosthetics. Vision restoration devices, for example, often attempt to stream raw video data to the brain, which overwhelms its processing capacity. A more practical approach would summarize visual information into actionable cues, such as identifying objects or hazards in the environment.
Increased gaze at the mouth in females and eyes and hair in males is associated with significantly higher ratings of attractiveness by observers of the opposite sex. Practitioners may want to pay special attention to these areas when designing an evidence-based aesthetic treatment plan.
Taxi and ambulance drivers, the two professions associated with the lowest levels of death due to Alzheimer’s disease. […] The jobs require frequent spatial and navigational processing: the ability to sense and incorporate information about the location of objects around them. Although, the trend was not seen in other related jobs, like driving a bus or piloting an aircraft. It was also not seen in other forms of dementia […] The hippocampus, located deep within the brain, has been shown to be enhanced in London taxi drivers compared to the general population. The region is also one of the parts of the brain involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. […] Across the general population, the proportion of deaths from Alzheimer’s was 1.69 percent, while the proportion for taxi and ambulance drivers was 1.03 percent and 0.91 percent, respectively. […] The authors acknowledged that there were limitations, including that individuals who are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease may be less likely to enter driving occupations.
