I don't know about this "humans have low external bandwidth" business.
After all, real-time image processing and analysis is pretty damn hard.
Look at the behaviour of your typical autonomous robot...

In fact the real-time control problem for a human body requires lots
of simultaneous inputs, any of which is at a decent (by computer standards)
baud rate.
