Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I reached out to this brand\Ncalled Emotiv

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if I focus on it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really hard
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it should be able to translate these

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like attention!\NLook at that!
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see the building of tension\Nand spike in excitement;

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I should note that EEG data\Ncan be pretty noisy
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and things like movement \Ncan really impact the results.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, I think that having any level of \Nrecording is an improvement
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I basically never pay attention\Nto my attention.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It only every really comes up when\NI'm feeling guilty about my screentime,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And only having these really infrequent\Nand negative interactions with my problem
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes it really hard to be \Nobjective about the whole thing,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to understand how bad it actually is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see if it's getting better or worse.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But now, with the help of this brainscanner,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I finally got to measure a \Nbaseline for my attention span
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without getting bogged down by guilt,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or forgetting to focus on my focus.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[typing]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wore the EEG while I worked, ate,\Nexercised and relaxed.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did take it off a few times\Nbecause it gets pretty uncomfortable
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after really long stretches.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Woah!
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, overall, \Nit was pretty easy to ignore
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while I just lived my life \Nfor the rest of the week.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alongside the EEG, I installed\Na program to automatically track

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I recorded \Nhow many times I picked up my phone.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did you know that you can't actually\Nexport you screentime data!
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I wrote a quick script\Nto compile all this data and visualise it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here is my life for the past three days.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ooh.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These blue bars represent the \Nnumber of times I picked up my phone.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This grey line tracks how productive\NI was at my computer,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and these coloured lines are the median\Nperformance metrics from my EEG.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, some highlights include this moment
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I picked up my phone to start \Ndebugging the app that I was using to scan my brain,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I ended up [uh] opening Instagram\Nand spending the next two hours on it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[laughs]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, during my meeting the next day
