Smartphones Creating Waves | Brainwaves Shift To 'Texting Rhythm'

New Study Suggests Texting May Actually Change Processes In The Brain

September 06, 2016

These days, it seems like smartphones are an integral part of people's daily lives — and a new study suggests that texting on these devices may actually change certain processes in the brain.

Texting may cause some people's brain waves to change temporarily, resulting in a pattern unique to texters, the researchers found. The scientists called this unique pattern of brain waves the "texting rhythm." They were surprised that the rhythm could be reproduced in different patients in the study, said Dr. William Tatum, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Jacksonville, Florida, and the lead author of the study. The discovery of new brain-wave patterns is rare — it was more common in the years following the late 1920s, when the electroencephalogram (EEG) device, which shows brain activity, was invented.

Findings suggest that texting can indeed alter brain activity, lending further credence to laws that ban texting and driving. Texting is more than a "simple distraction," they wrote.

QDNA^® Quantum Connection^™
The human brain is the most astoundingly complex structure in the known universe—more complex than any galaxy--says physicist Sir Roger Penrose.

There are approximately 10 to the power of 60 atoms in the universe. Our brain laughs in the face of that figure. There are approximately 1.1 trillion cells in our brains and each single brain neuron has from 1,000 to 10,000 connections with other neurons, making up to 10 trillion neuron connections possible.

For centuries, the brain was a mystery. Only in the last few decades have scientists begun to unravel its secrets. It provides instantaneous access to a vast genetic blueprint and possesses enormous biochemical complexity. It is a supercomputer of millions of biological functions. When we think, move, speak, dream and even love - it all happens through the complex neuro-functions of the brain.

In recent years, using the latest technology and powerful computers not previously available, ever increasing discoveries about the brain have been made, filling in the gaps that were grey and turning upside many previously held notions. The most revolutionary finding to come in recent years has been the discovery that the human brain can change itself, what neurologists call “Neuroplasticity”, a term that refers to the brain’s ability to actually restructure its physical and genetic characteristics and reorder its functional anatomy from top to bottom, solely through the act of focused thought, training or repeated behavior.

Neuroplasticity derives from the root words, neuro for “neuron,” the nerve cells in our brains and nervous systems, and plasticity from the word plastic, a reference to being “changeable, malleable, modifiable.” It’s a term that perfectly describes the brain’s capacity to change, reprogram and recondition itself, and astonishing discoveries in the field of Neuroplasticity have ushered in a revolutionary paradigm shift in neuroscience, on par with what occurred in quantum physics. Now that's fuel for thought.
