Tyler Angert(@tylerangert):Been thinking about this the past few days. Some thoughts 1. How does this fit into our definition of context switching? 2. Is adhd a low-consciousness disorder? Lol 3. Is the experience of focus (and more specifically flow state) “elevated consciousness” ? Maybe the Buddhists were right all along 4. If we can detect / decode what the unconscious processing part of the brain is doing, can we treat attention disorders with some form of non-chemical treatment that trains us to recognize when we’re moving out of focus? 5. I wonder how much of depression is related to this as well and if we’ll ever be able to more objectively diagnose individual sources of depression or anxiety via subconscious decoding

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.
