 >  Humans think at a rate of 10 bits per second.

That sounds like BS to me (and the article is behind a paywall):

A single letter is at least 5 bits of information. How can a human type 100 *words* a minute if they can only "think" (of each letter/character) at the rate of 2 characters/second? That would mean a human could only type 120 characters per minute.

Certainly humans *read* much faster than they type, and they have to think about the words and phrases they're reading as they're converting print to thoughts.

I'm not sure how they're measuring this data rate, but it seems sus to me.
