millisecond: ms One thousandth of one second 1 ms: The time for a neuron in the human brain to fire one impulse and return to rest [13] 4–8 ms: The typical seek time for a computer hard disk: 10 −2: centisecond cs One hundredth of one second 1.6667 cs: The period of a frame at a frame rate of 60 Hz.
Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system.The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.

Also a casual term for a short period of time. centisecond: 10 −2 s: One hundredth of a second. decisecond: 10 −1 s: One tenth of a second. second: 1 s: SI ...
A long shift time is considered anything over 625 milliseconds. [2]The average manual car driver takes between 500 ms and 1 s to perform vertical gear changes (i.e. 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th) and 1 - 2 s to perform horizontal gear changes (i.e. 2nd-3rd, 4th-5th).
A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or 1 ⁄ 1,000 of a millisecond. Because the next SI prefix is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10 −5 and 10 −4 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds.
