  • For the past 10 years Professor David Strayer has been researching brain-based measures of cognitive restoration. In his informative, researched-based talk, David shares his findings that spending time in nature - without digital devices - allows the brain to rest and restore. David Strayer is a professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah. Dr. Strayer is a prolific writer and his research examines attention and multitasking in real-world contexts.
    Dr. Strayer is a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society, the Psychonomic Society, and is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Sciences. Most recently he received the University of Utah Distinguished Scholarly and Creative Research Award, and the Interdisciplinary Teaching Grand Award for his work on The Psychology of Traffic.
    Dr. Strayer acknowledges that much of the technology that has been created to promote convenience can actually have an adverse effect and overload our brain mechanisms, resulting in distractions. As a human factors psychologist, Dr. Strayer observes what he sees in the real world, links it to theory, develops hypotheses and then tests those hypotheses in his lab. What he has found has helped save lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I love nature. Nature walks are healing. The founder of EMDR was walking through the woods and found out while walking the worries are less and that's how the EMDR originated based on lateral eye movements.

    Deep respect for Dr. Strayer and his team at the Univ of Utah for their important work distraction and safety. Their contributions to this field can hardly be exaggerated.

    Outstanding work! This content is setting a new standard. I recently read a similar book, and it was groundbreaking. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember

    speaking of disconnected, the opening example is standing underneath a tendon strap that belonged to a huge humanoid creature that died right in that spot during the great flood. Jesus said that the world was a corpse and he wasnt wrong! Everything is a frequency vibration, even those dead beings that we are walking on and all their organs that are sets of all kinds of compatible transition metals hooking up forming all kinds of crystals and gemstones. These living cells have just transitioned to another form of energy.
