At what bitrate though? At 1 MB/s that’s 400 TB, which is nothing to sneeze at.

At what bitrate though? At 1 MB/s that’s 400 TB, which is nothing to sneeze at.
- dane-pgp 6y agoTo give a sense of how accurate that estimate is, consider this reference: "In other words, the human body sends 11 million bits per second to the brain for processing, yet the conscious mind seems to be able to process only 50 bits per second." https://www.britannica.com/science/information-theory/Physiology https://www.britannica.com/science/information-theory/Physio...
- DavidSJ 6y agoSo quite accurate then, since 11Mb/s = 1.375MB/s. (The conscious mind, of course, is not where most of our learning from experience happens.)
- pmoriarty 6y agoI am very suspicious of the numbers and statistics quoted in this article, as there are no references cited for their claims, and no indication as to how they arrived at them.
- akiselev 6y agoThat doesn't sound accurate. The human eye's resolution is in the tens if not hundreds of megapixels [1] with high sensitivity (meaning the compression isn't very lossy so the bits of information remain). Even if you assume only a few frames per second that's far more than 11 megabit/s. [1] https://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html https://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html
- sudosysgen 6y agoHuman vision is more complicated than that, there is some "compression" happening at the eye. But yes, it's almost certainly more than 11 megabits, more likely around a few dozen just for the eyes: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-04954-5_7 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-04954-5_...
