Brains

I read an interesting article on Conference Presentations and our Brains... There was some interesting points that seem to fit well with the overall approach that I have been working with lately. The article was titled "Conference Presentation Mind Control" by Paul Fenwick and was presented at the OSDC in December (Melbourne).

One of the most interesting quotes from the presentation relates to people having trouble paying attention in technically interesting presentations - "Half our brain is bored, and suppressing it is hard work. Similar reasoning can be used to explain why many technical professionals are more effective if they listen to music while they work". Something that I immediately relate to.
