A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS AT STANFORD DID EXPERIMENTS to explore the relationship between reading, attention and distraction.

PhD candidates were asked to read A Jane Austen novel before getting an MRI scan

Results of the experiment revealed a dramatic increase in blood flow to regions of the brain that you don't normally use on a day to day basis
