I picked up the 2,000 bits per second as the processing rate for little brain from a Discovery Channel program that presented a documentary on the latest FMRI imagery.

It is FMRI technology that has given the Big Brain/Little Brain theory new and substantial evidence to show that what is actually going on inside our minds.

I shall try to find the title of the documentary, for it will surely be available as a DVD.   And it could be a good Xmas present for your doubting psychology graduate.   :-)
