Physiological Time
Human physiology developed out of our evolutionary biology.
We need to perceive rapidly enough and react quickly enough to (a) hide from predators, (b) catch prey, and (c) swat misquitoes. In fact, because we’re clever, we can be even slower than our predators and our prey because we can outsmart them…
Human perception and reaction time is on the order of tenths and hundreths of seconds.
QUESTION: How do we design an interface between a human being who reacts on the order of tenths of seconds and a machine that computes on the order of millionths of seconds?
