            ter understand how short a thousandth of a second is.
            Similarly, stimuli are sent from the entire body to the
            brain via the nerves. From every single part of your body
            messages are sent to your brain continuously and at an
            amazing speed. So you can talk, laugh, run, taste the
            flavour of ice cream, play with your dog... all these
            processes occur without interruption; you perform the act
            immediately as you think about. You see the object right
            at the moment you look at it, you hear the words right at
            the moment they are uttered, and perceive whether an ob-
            ject is hot or cold right at the moment you touch it. All
            these are thanks to the perfect harmony between your
                                                7
