Experiments and computational models in Multimodal integration have shown that sensory input from different senses is integrated in a statistically optimal way, in addition, it appears that the kind of inferences used to infer single sources for multiple sensory inputs uses a Bayesian inference about the causal origin of the sensory stimuli.

Experiments revealed that people's attributional inferences looked very much like the attributional inferences that a thinking system would generate if it was relying on formal attributional rules such as the calculus of non-common effects, the covariation and discounting principles and so on.

Experiments have documented that olivine at high pressures ( e. g., 12 GPa, the pressure at depths of about 360 kilometers ) can contain at least as much as about 8900 parts per million ( weight ) of water, and that such water contents drastically reduce the resistance of olivine to solid flow ; moreover, because olivine is so abundant, more water may be dissolved in olivine of the mantle than contained in Earth's oceans.

Herb Friedman says that " Experiments have shown that the brain works most efficiently if the information rate through the ears -- via speech -- is the " average " reading rate, which is about 200-300 wpm ( words per minute ), yet the average rate of speech is in the neighborhood of 100-150 wpm.
