Deep dives

Understanding the Reticular Activating System

The reticular activating system (RAS) is a crucial part of the brain that filters sensory information, allowing only a small fraction of the overwhelming data to reach our consciousness. This system processes about 11 million bits of information per second but typically only lets in 50 to 120 bits, acting like a bouncer that determines what we focus on. This selective attention means that we can easily overlook certain details unless we consciously set our RAS to look for them, such as when driving and noticing specific car colors. By understanding how the RAS operates, individuals can learn to control their perception of reality and prioritize information that aligns with their goals and interests.
