Scientific American editor Christie Nicholson reports on meditation and the phenomenon known as “attentional blink” from possibly the most distracting place on Earth, New York’s Times Square.
In this video podcast she discusses research by Dr. David Richardson of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, that shows how “letting go” through practicing mindfulness meditation helps us to deal with over-stimulation and to pay attention when things get hectic.
