电子产品对大脑的影响，很复杂 沉迷电子产品对大脑的影响尚不明确，但一位神经科学家表示，结果可能有好有坏，总之，很复杂。

And while there’ve been a few studies that have examined these questions, the truth is that everything we encounter changes our brains. And we just don’t have the data right now to say how meaningful these changes actually are.” Cohen spoke March 21st, at the Cooper Union in Manhattan, during a discussion called Our Brain on A.I. [Artificial Intelligence]: Who’s In Control, Me or the Machine? “In fact, a recent study examining over 350,000 adolescents found a small but negative association with technology use and well-being, but they also found similar relationships between eating potatoes and wearing eyeglasses and well-being. And yet we don’t ask if potatoes and eyeglasses have destroyed a generation.” That study, titled “The association between adolescent well-being and digital technology use,” appeared this January in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. “Part of the issue in studying how technology influences our brain is that there are so many different forms of technology that often all get lumped into one category. So how we use technology, what specific technology we use, and what we use it for will be important variables to define in future research. “And even as we do more and better research on these topics, the answer is still likely to be that it’s complicated”…[full transcript] “ Orben, A. and Przybylski, A.K., 2019.
