Great article, basically instead of getting a massive signal in the brain strong enough to trigger a stop or go reflex, the brain calculates the curve at which the to stimuli meet in time and speed. So it basically measure the difference between a stop signal and go signal and figures out where to land. This reminds me of the AI experiment where the computer had to connect pathways on a circuit board in an efficient way. It worked, but the scientists couldn’t figure how or why because the nodes weren’t all the way on and it was spread out. What they realized was that the AI measured the ambient electricity on the board and made its path “sensing” that. Way beyond what the researchers thought possible.

If anyone knows the research I’m talking about please send me a link because I can’t find it now.
