Und Guterres hat nichts besseres zu tun, als unterwürfig den Preis aus dem Händen eines möchtegern-Diktators anzunehmen?

I'm looking for quantifiable measures of effective information bandwidth from auditory to visual areas in the human brain. Has anyone tried that using what is now known about the human connectome?
