Now we are ready to see where the individual consciousness images come from. As you will recall, we found that the presence of melanin in the brain give us a minimum consciousness time interval that agreed with what we had obtained experientially: about 0.04 second. Now as data flow through the consciousness at a rate of nearly 50 million bits per second, all the data recieved in an interval of time equal to the length of the minimum consciousness time interval will be percieved as part of one image. We referred to this in Chapter 11 as the consciousness field information capacity, represented by the letter F. As pointed out in Appendix I, the product of the consciousness data rate, C, and the time interval give us the value F. The result is 1.9 million bits in a single consciousness image. That's our mind's TV picture! This theoretical value for the consciousness field information capacity is almost the same value as the 2 million bit we obtained in Chapter 11 introspectively.
And this, by the way, is why the TV set is the size it is. The TV set must provide enough picture information at any instant to supply this 2 million bits of information, and it must cycle these pictures 30 time a second to keep pace with the rate at which we consciously experience image.

So my question is, is there a way that images can be beamed directly into somebody's head? If you could, consider the possibilities.
