and then they proceed to give misinterpretated evidence of serialization because they’re making assumptions about lower level biochemical behavior based on higher level tissue performance. In fact, that tissue-level behavior isn’t correctly described either.
"In contrast, central processing appears to be strictly serial: When faced with two tasks in competition, individuals consistently encounter a “psychological refractory period” before being able to perform the second task broadbent_perception_1958, pashler_dual-task_1994. Even in tasks that do not require any motor output, such as thinking, we can pursue only one strand at a time."
Clearly they're not talking about "neuronal transmission", but tasks, and further more, they cite their sources.
I wasn’t being “dishonest”, I couldn’t copy/paste the entire text on my phone.
I addressed the rest of that statement in my comment by noting that you can’t make the same assumptions about biochemical reactions and emergent behaviors of tissues.
Secondly, even from a neurophysiology perspective, their cited evidence is misinterpreted. Any basic dual N-back task proves their central thesis incorrect.
