Just as many people want to mistakenly compare the brain's "information processing" capability and speed to that of a computer,the speed of neural impulses is often erroneously compared to the:
A)Speed of light
B)Speed of sound
C)Speed of electrical current
D)The average reaction time for an average adult human

Question
