Focused and diffused modes of thinking

Our brains work differently depending on how we use our attention. Roughly speaking, we can divide our activity into two basic modes:

Focused mode

• Intense and focused attention on a single issue or a whole.
• The neural networks associated with the subject being learned are used more intensively as the brain concentrates its capacities on specific areas.
• Limited communication between brain regions, with the predominantly frontal lobe active.
• For example, intensive study.
