The clinical and biohacking objective of measurably enhancing the speed and efficiency of information processing, decision-making, and reaction time within the central nervous system. This optimization focuses on improving the neurological pathways responsible for rapid thought and execution, distinct from memory or knowledge acquisition. It represents a key marker of fluid intelligence and peak mental performance.
Origin
This modern term synthesizes “cognitive velocity,” referring to the speed of mental operations, with “optimization,” the pursuit of maximal functional capacity. It is a concept heavily utilized in performance psychology and neuro-enhancement fields.
Mechanism
The underlying mechanism involves enhancing synaptic transmission speed and improving the myelination of neural axons, which facilitates faster signal propagation. Neurohormones, particularly those related to the catecholamine and steroid pathways, modulate attention and processing capacity by influencing neurotransmitter release and receptor density. Additionally, ensuring optimal cerebral blood flow provides the necessary metabolic substrate to fuel rapid neural activity.
