As far as I am aware, the purpose behind saccades is not to prevent the brain from being flooded, but partly due to the necessary refractory period, and mostly due to the need to section of 'time' in order to be able to process (compute) anything. For anything to be computed, it first has to be sectioned by periods of time.
Also the waves are theories in of themselves (as is everything else), as is the brain and neurons, as since everything is perceived, it is not what is, but a response (a series of calculations/decisions) to what our senses received. Therefore all we have is theories, except perhaps for our own consciousness (awareness).
I think there for I am (a very bad translation of René Descartes)
