A new study using fMRI investigates the brain's mechanisms behind deep focus, finding that certain brain networks synchronize and desynchronize, affecting an individual's ability to maintain attention. The research suggests that low-frequency fluctuations in brain networks play a key role in regulating sustained attention, providing potential insights for improving cognitive function. The study's findings could lead to better strategies for enhancing focus and attention in various cognitive tasks.
