New research suggests that attention does not remain steady, but instead cycles rhythmically several times per second.

Researchers find that human attention shifts 7–10 times per second due to innate brain rhythms, making us naturally susceptible to distractions.

A new study shows that attention moves in fast repeating cycles in the brain, making us more open to distraction at certain moments.

Scientists have revealed that our attention is on a cycle, shifting seven to ten times per second—a beneficial trait for our ancestors that may now work against us.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...
