How Fast Your Brain Reacts to Stimuli?
It is amazing how quickly our body process information in order to perform the act. Even when thinking about how a person perceived motion... through STROBOSCOPIC MOTION –a visual phenomenon caused by aliasing that occurs when continuous motion is represented by a series of short or instantaneous samples.
As I did my experiment with my son, I could not help but to think: His brain is registering this ball coming towards in rapid quick shots of images. Yet he is able to react and eventually catch the ball.

Any chance to include my PRINCE I am here for it.
In the video Brandon:
1. Ball Approaches Brandon
2. Eyes register the ball coming (visual lobe)
3. Brandon Occipital Lobe send the info of ball
4. Brandon frontal Lobe registers the information and attempts to catch the ball
BUT BRANDON CLOSES HIS EYES! :-)
5. Motor Cortex still works on trying to catch the ball
6. The signal sent to his spinal cord gets Brandon use his left and right hands
7. Brandon's hands move to lift the right then left hand to attempt catching the ball
Wonderful! Brandon is absolutely adorable!! Good you connecting STROBOSCOPIC MOTION to this phenomenon. Amazing how our brain works!
