I agree with the idea of millions of bits of information coming in to the brain requiring filtering to prevent overloading the conscious mind, but would dispute strongly the suggestion that there are only seven bits of information perceived in the conscious mind. That is rubbish, Maybe it is an exaggeration to illustrate an idea OK - but seven bits is silly.
The visual apparatus even at conscious level after untold processing and filtering is "seeing" (i.e. perceiving) what amounts to millions of bits of information in each eye per millisecond at the fovea from the cones with the mind-picture perceived with all its detail of form and texture. Seven bits of information in the visual apparatus would only represent a resolution of seven points of light separately. Patently absurd.
