TEDxEast - Malia Mason - Mindwandering

TEDxTalks — May 7, 2010-Malia Mason is an assistant professor at Columbia University. She uses brain imaging and traditional experimental approaches to explore why the mind is driven to wander despite our heroic attempts to keep our minds focused on the task at hand. In her provocative talk, Malia Mattar argues that mindwandering can be a good thing. In fact, when many mindwander they are actually focusing on unfulfilled intentions or unfinished business. She uses the metaphor of the "watchdog" to demonstrate how the mind refocuses on bigger goals one cares about completing in life. Daydreaming allows one to plot his or her next move and to focus on goals that one cares about. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the task at hand and embracing our mindwandering.
