A PBS-sponsored special, The Distracted Mind with Dr. Adam Gazzaley, in which Dr. Gazzaley will explore the impact of our multi-tasking, tech-saturated world on the brain, will air throughout March. Dr. Gazzaley will share some of his own research on the distracted brain, as well as tips to preserve attention and focus, especially as we age. A trailer and broadcast schedule are available here. Dr. Gazzaley is the founder and director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center at the University of California, San Francisco, where he is an associate professor of Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry. Read more about his work on the role of conscious control in people's perception of their environments and the ways that control can break down during the aging process and neurological disease here. Dr. Gazzaley is a recipient of the 2005 Pfizer/AFAR Innovations in Aging Award and a 2002 Glenn/AFAR Postdoctoral Award.
