Understanding Reaction Time and Information Processing

Information Processing & Reaction Time Revision Sheet

1. Core Concept
The human brain processes information like a computer, in a series of stages from receiving a stimulus to producing a response. The speed of this processing can be measured by Reaction Time (RT).

2. The Information-Processing Model
A three-stage model explaining how sensory input is transformed into motor output.

  • Input: Information from the environment received via the senses.

  • Stimulus Identification Stage: Deciding if a stimulus

The Convergence of Blockchain, AI, and NFTs in Future Finance

NFTs and the Metaverse Economy

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets verified on a blockchain, which ensures authenticity, ownership, and digital rights. These tokens are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated (e.g., digital art or collectibles).

In the Metaverse, NFTs are crucial because they allow users to own and trade virtual items like avatars, clothing, land, or art. This process gives these digital items real value and identity. NFTs connect directly to digital rights, forming
