Equivalent Data Information of Sensory and Motor Signals in the Human Body

Abstract

In this paper, the amount of information collected by sensory and motor organs is analyzed. Humans use their senses to recognize the information around them and to perform appropriate actions. To perform these processes, information is exchanged between organs via analog electrical signals. Analog electrical signals convey information transmitted from human sensory organs to the cerebrum or commands sent from the cerebrum to the appropriate motor organs. This paper analyzes the amount of analog signal information generated inside the human body and converts this information into equivalent digital data. This process is carried out in an effort to build a human-like humanoid based on the equivalent digital data. The analog information generated in the human body is investigated based on the medical publications to date. These analyses result in the bit rate and delay requirements of nervous systems that are built with digital networks. It is shown in this paper that both artificial eyes equivalently generate approximately 14 Gigabits from a one-time look when a humanoid performs at a human-like level. In addition, it is realized that the human body is more sensitive to pressure than to temperature since the pressure sensation generates, on average, more information than the temperature sensation.

Effective Communications for 6G: Challenges and Opportunities

“…Multi-sensory and holographic telepresence use case -Consider the necessary bitrate and maximum affordable delay of sensory communication to replicate the sense of touch at a remote location. The furthest receptors on the hand/feet from the brain are approximately 1.5 and 2 meters away, and the speed at which a sensory point transfers data is approximately 30 m/s; so the maximum delays of the signals are 0.038 s and 0.067 s [10]. A human can feel temperature differences with a resolution of 0.02 • C in the range [5,45] • C. Using this quantization to represent temperature data in 11 bits, and with sufficient sensory points, collecting temperature information ∼50 times per second, the bit rate for temperature information is 26.4 Mbps from the hands and 33.8 Mbps from the feet.…”

“…In previous studies, we analyzed the complex perception of the human body from various perspectives such as temperature, pressure, vision, and hearing [1]. By investigating literature in the areas of human biology, we discussed the number of various sensory spots, sensitivities, and abilities to identify environmental factors of the human body.…”

“…IRNs also include networks of sensors and actuators with different performance parameters such as bandwidth, delay, and transmission speed. IRNs may adopt design ideas similar to those of IVNs to satisfy the network requirements for humanoids [1]. To accomplish this, three feasible IRN architectures are proposed and analyzed.…”
