Just as stated, I don’t the proper way to express it
Yes. “Slower reaction time” or something is the phrase I’d use. It gets worse if I’m tired.
Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?

I like that description. I may borrow it the next time I’m asked to run a safety training.
To answer your question, yes. Your reaction time does slow down as you become more tired. The effect is similar to being very drunk. This fact is the basis for Hours of Service regulations in the US trucking industry.

Slower reaction times? Yup. I think Mythbusters even covered it.

There have also been several studies that also prove this.
You driving after being awake for 24 hours is as impacted as though you had a 0.1% BAC (0.08% is the legal limit).

Too much corruption in RAM, need a power cycle

“Did you try turning yourself on and off again?” “Yeah, but now I’ve got post-nut clarity and I’m just sad”

This doesn’t answer the question, but I think “ping” is a fine way to describe it, as most people will know what you mean. If you want a more technical word, “latency” is a generalized form of “ping”.

In the literal sense of the time it takes neuronal spikes to travel from your retina to your visual cortex, I doubt it.
The more likely cause, I think, is the amount of resources your brain is devoting to the real-time modeling of your environment that those visual signals feed into, and that has to be processed before you become conscious of any changes.

You’ve been in Elon’s programme, haven’t you?

What program? I’m not aware of Muskrat’s doings after his breakup with his fascist tangerine

No but the CPU load slows down processing.
Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah. Also when I’m really tired, I can’t play Minecraft because my brain percieves it more as a 2D plane rather than a 3D space.

Sort of, your processing power does decrease, meaning you’ll likely do a worse job of putting what you’re seeing into the appropriate context.

Yes, besides falling asleep at the wheel that’s also why you shouldn’t drive when tired.

You always see at the same speed. Your reaction time slows down.
Think of it this way. You step on a Lego and it hurts instantly. Doesn't matter if you're sleepy or drunk or wide awake. You feel it right away. Same with seeing; it's instantaneous.

I don’t think the speed of the electrical impulse would change, but yes reaction time would. Perception is more about our brain processing signals than it is about the signals themselves. What you experience yourself as seeing is not the raw image going into your eyes. Slower processing means you’re also less likely to see, as in be aware of, details.
marcos@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You’d be surprised. The speed of electrical pulses inside neurons change due to all kinds of factors, like training and diet.
I do really expect them to change with tiredness too.
Lightfire228@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation
So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeda

Brains are weird so that checks out
