Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield once calculated the speed at which the human brain can think as 352 kilometres an hour.
It’s not quite as fast as a Japanese bullet train, but after spending lunch with her at Melbourne’s Kenzan restaurant, I conclude that the calculation is an underestimation of the velocity at which her own brain travels.
