The Smartphone Could Change People's Brain?
The first generation of iPhone made touch
screen become the mainstream absolutely, since then, the touch screen becomes
the main way that we interact with the mobile phone. Not only that, recently, studies
have shown that in the meanwhile cell phones were changing human's life, it
also have changed the operation mode of people's brain.
A neuroscientist at the University of
Zurich found that people who use smartphones, their cerebral cortex area would
will be more active correspondingly, and the extent of the effect is directly
related to the time that users have spent in.
The study also found that in the process of
people using smartphones with a finger, the action repeating on the screen will
change the specific region of the cerebral cortex. This area is called the
somatosensory cortex, which receives sensory signals coming from human skin.
When some parts of human's body are
frequently used, such as fingers, then the corresponding regions of the brain
would change, and become more sensitive. Among this study, there are two
comparative experiment groups, the old-fashioned style phone users and
smartphone users. From the results of the experiment we can find that
participants who using touch screen smartphones would be more active in their
brain region where are related to the finger tips movement.
