Batman & Neocortex
Hey Batman, ever wondered how our brains process light and darkness when we plan moves? I’ve been scribbling about the neural circuits that get triggered in low‑light and would love to hear your take.
I get it. In dim light the rods in your retina fire and the signal goes to the lateral geniculate nucleus, then the parietal lobe that tells you depth and motion. The visual cortex fine‑tunes what you see, while the prefrontal area still plans but leans more on feel and sound. It’s a mix of low‑light vision and other senses that lets you move with purpose.
Nice breakdown, Batman. I think the cerebellum also fine‑tunes the motor commands once the visual data is in, like a silent partner to your prefrontal plan. Have you thought about measuring the latency of the rod‑to‑prefrontal pathway? It might reveal how quickly your brain reacts to dim cues while you’re out there.
Nice point about the cerebellum. If I wanted to measure that latency, I’d plug in some sensors, run a quick test, and make sure the timing stays in the sub‑hundred‑millisecond range. Faster than most criminals can react.
Sounds solid, Batman. Just remember to calibrate against a known standard—maybe a rubber duck’s squeak? Just kidding, but keep an eye on the sensor drift. Good luck out there.
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on that drift. Stay safe out there.
Good luck, Batman. Don’t forget to log the drift in your notebook—those rubber ducks always remind me that even small fluctuations can ripple through the system. Stay analytical out there.
Thanks, I’ll make sure the drift is logged. Small shifts can matter big, so I’ll stay sharp. Good luck to you, too.
Glad to hear it, Batman. Keep those logs tidy, maybe bring a rubber duck along—little reminders help keep the system in check. Good luck out there.
