Concentrate! How to tame a wandering mind

If we are going to recover under the current lack of stroke rehab protocols we are going to have to be completely focused on all the work it is going to take to recover. This should be a mandatory prescription from your doctor until they actually come up with useful rehab protocols. Test yourself at bottom.

Procrastinate often? Caroline Williams does, so decided to find out if brain training could tackle her wandering mind. What she discovered could help everyone.

I am about to be zapped in the head with an electromagnet, once a second, for eight minutes. I fidget, trying to get comfortable in a huge black chair with jointed metal arms that stand between me and the door. I feel faintly ridiculous wearing a tight headband with what looks like a coat hook on the top. “All you need to do is relax,” says Mike Esterman, the researcher about to zap me. That’s easy for him to say – he’s holding the magnet.

"Willpower is like a muscle. I'm a big believer in that." — Tim Pychyl, psychologist

I’ve come to the Boston Attention and Learning Lab in the US to try and train my brain to focus better. Esterman and fellow cognitive neuroscientist Joe DeGutis have spent nearly seven years working on a training programme to help wandering minds stay “in the zone”.
