I thought "instantaneous" essentially be on the order of 100-200 ms given human reaction times, but apparently we can visually detect latencies down to the 10-2

- tantalor 10y agoReaction time includes a behavioral response like pressing a button after a stimulus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_time You also have to consider the speed of the neural pathway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoI noticed this earlier today as I intentionally smashed a small piece of glass (for a project) - the smashing and scattering of pieces happened in less than one second, but my subconscious managed to accurately track both the number (~5) and direction of the significant pieces that went flying. That was quite surprising to me.
