Brain/world/reality/perception/Frith: thesis: even if our brain works normally, we have no direct access to the world.

Nerve conduction/nerve pathways/Frith: conduction velocity: was first measured in 1852 (Helmholtz): 20 msec for 1 meter, sometimes even slower: 100 msec.
Unconscious/Helmholtz/perception/Frith: thesis: (because of the slowness of nerve conduction) perception depends on "unconscious conclusions".
>Unconscious, >Consciousness.
Later he did not need this formulation any more, in order to avoid a confusion with Schopenhauer's linguistic usage.
Cf. >Libet experiment.},
