"Your Brain on Computers: Outdoors and Out of Reach, Studying the Brain" New York Times 8/15/10
The Times returns to this series after a couple of months. The article follows a group of neuroscientists on a rafting trip down the San Juan River trying to determine if the time spent away from the plugged-in world really does help with attention, memory and cognition in general. No definite conclusions, but all of them seem to feel the down-time helped them personally. I find it ironic that I'm rushing to read the article, view the accompanying videos, and link to it here and on my website in the very busy week before school starts. Time to get outdoors and out of reach for me.
