Visual images are processed faster than any other medium can circulate

Evidence

Immediacy stylizes the intensification of circulation, and nothing circulates faster than images. The human visual cortex processes stimuli at somewhere around sixty frames per second, with the ocular lens mirroring light into the retina, where photo-receptor cells convert it to electrical signals that the optic nerve ferries to the brain. Images viewed for as little as thirteen milliseconds can complete this information flow, called “feedforward processing,” and connect to concepts without any further feedback processes in the brain. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 78

• QUESTION: The ‘thirteen milliseconds’ feedforward claim seems oversimplified or possibly misattributed — worth checking the underlying neuroscience if it matters for the argument.
