Text messages “switch” the brain to a different mode of operation.
the new study, researchers proved that while sending text messages through the phone change the rhythm of brain waves in humans. Creates a unique rhythm of “text messages”that nobody ever heard of. Scientists say that this process can occur because of the small screens.
The human brain concentrates on them and that in consequence it can become a “biological cause” that the person was strictly forbidden to write messages while driving. In the study of William Tatum participated in 129 patients. Some of them were with epilepsy. People control their brain waves 16 months.
They used EEG and various videos. Participants were asked to listen to music, write messages and pounding fingers. They also passed the tests for attention.
Almost 1 out of 5 people were discovered the so-called “textual rhythms”. According to the team the results of the experiment will be important information for drivers, gaming enthusiasts and even for brain computer interfaces.
