Researchers from the University of California-Berkeley have discovered that the human brain shows you images from 15 seconds in the past, instead of trying to update your vision in real-time.
Just like a social media feed, the brain is constantly uploading new and rich visual stimuli. However, to keep everything that our eyes are taking in every second of every day in order, the study finds the brain actually presents us with an image from 15 seconds earlier.
The findings provide new insights into what scientists call the mind’s “continuity field,” a function of perception where the brain merges with what our eyes see to provide a sense of stability. Without it, study authors say the world would actually appear like a blurry jumble in your eyes.

More than 6,000 federal workers have gotten behind a State Department employee’s effort to challenge the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate…
“We realized that nobody else was standing up for federal employees in court,” Thornton said during an interview. “Usually, this would be handled by the unions, but for whatever reason, this time they’ve chosen to abandon their employees and stand in solidarity with the employer.
Feds 4 Medical Freedom is a group formed by Marcus Thornton, an officer within the State Department. Thornton first entered the federal government as a Border Patrol agent, so it’s safe to say he’s used to fighting in the trenches. Outraged that Biden’s federal worker mandate stands, he is leading federal workers to stand up to him.

Scary when you think about how fast people drive!
I don’t think the results of their study are completely accurate, or there’s more to the research that they haven’t divulged, such as a brain override in the case of threats. I’ve ducked or turned in well less than 15 seconds to avoid being hit by something coming at me. If all I’m seeing is what I took in 15 seconds ago, I’d have been dead a long time ago.
It may be more accurate for the researchers to conclude that the brain holds on to multiple images for 15 seconds to enable complete processing of the landscape or field of view.
Umm, then how come I can wiggle my fingers in front of my face and see them wiggling in real time?
That has to be absurdly oversimplified, if it was objectively true we would be extinct…
