Is there any relationship between processing speed and reaction time (speed at which something reacts to external stimuli) of information processors such as the brain and computers?
So if a computer had higher processing speed, would it be able to react quicker to external stimuli, For example, if one computer had a 1 terahertz processor and the other had a 1 gigahertz processor, would the 1 terahertz processor have the potential to react faster to external stimuli provided it was programmed to do so.
Suppose we have a robotic body which has a computer programmed to catch things and dodge things. If it has a higher processing speed like a 1 terahertz processor, would it be able to catch and dodge faster moving objects than a slower 1 gigahertz processor? If so, how much processing speed is required for that robot's computer to catch / dodge a bullet or something traveling at the speed of an average bullet?
Will that also mean that a autonomous car with high processor computers can travel at a much faster speed reacting and dealing with obstacles at a much faster speed to humans without causing accidents due to being able process the data fast enough.?
