Reading review: The User Illusion: “The Bandwidth of consciousness.”

In this chapter, the author presents his theory about human consciousness which processes only in 40 bits/sec. How much information we can take per second? Only one millionth of what we see, smell or hear. The discard information is far more than information present. “To be aware of an experience means it has passed”.

Consciousness is far slower than you inner mental life. We can’t stop thinking and absorbing information. The discard information is then transferred in the body language. We can communicate without words just by our physical reactions.
