It's still a bit surprising and I'm not sure I fully understand it. Is it 10 bits/second at some kind of "at-rest" state?
Because when I think about typing, I am moving all 10 of my fingers simultaneously at a rate higher than one movement per finger per second, which seems like it would require more than 10 bits/second of output to control.
It refers to purposeful signals the brain sends to control muscles, like typing. Typing feels fast much of it relies on learned patterns and muscle memory, which simplify the brain's output requirements​
