- Tuna-Fish 1y agoThat's well known, and is ~20W, with some variation depending on brain size. This study was about the difference in energy consumption when you are "thinking hard", compared to just resting.
- voidUpdate 1y agoI guess this is why the machines made the matrix, to stimulate brain activity and extract more than 20W per person :P
- verzali 1y agoSo then the 5% increase is on the order of a watt, which is really not a lot.
