You are making this too hard. The “hundred step” principle puts a very hard upper limit on how much is actually being done from perception to response. Everything from the formation of a “global workspace” to the initiation of action has to be a fairly short process.
Perhaps very wide - but very short.
Hey everbody, i was just reading the book “on intelligence” and came across the 100-step rule.
i am no biologist in anyway, so i hope to get some answers here. thank you.
reading the book it seemed to me , that the 100 step rule is used to show how the brain can “calculate” diffucult task in only 100 steps , therefore it “must” use some memorybased system, because there is no way in 100 steps to make so big of a calculation.
after some research i have found out , that there is neuronal diverg…
Also …
The “100 step rule" is perhaps one known dimension.
This relates to the known time for neuron-neuron interaction and the measured human response time in various experiments.
On the other end of the timescales I hypothesize this:
I propose that a single thalamocortical resonance cycle in the cortex is the smallest quanta of human perception.
I propose that a single thalamocortical resonance cycle in the episodic portions of the cortex (those connected to the hippocampus) is the smallest quan…
