<br />Does anyone know the speed at which our eyes and brains process movement?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Most signals from other parts of the body to the brain, including all sensory signals through eyes and ears, take at least 0.2 seconds to process and appear on the visual screen. To avoid consequences of this phase lag, our visual screens and consciousness are also delayed 0.2 seconds (or more) to make everything appear to happen in real time. This creates the illusion that the conscious mind is in control, when in reality the autonomic nervous system has been pre-programmed by the subconscious mind to act in certain automatic ways.

Even arrows are too fast to "see", but we do get a vague impression of motion in the form of a blur. So the answer to your question would be subjective and depend on your criteria for "seeing" the bullet. -|Tom|-
