“Neurons whose basic computational speed is a few milliseconds must be made to account for complex behaviors which are carried out in a few hundred milliseconds (Posner, 1978). This means that entire complex behaviors are carried out in
less than a hundred time steps.”
I was curious so I looked up the reasoning (and original paper) behind the hundred-step rule.
