...through more than 500 trials. In an experiment published this month in Current Biology, he targeted different regions of the test subjects' brains with magnetic pulses while they performed number-recognition problems. A normal subject, when asked to identify whether a 2 or a 4 is written in larger text, will be a split-second faster on those occasions that the 4 is printed bigger.

I've become dismally fluent in typing on my cell phone's keypad, one-thumbed, while walking. Don't get me wrong; I have a full-blown e-mail problem too. I frequently override the little notifier app that checks my G-mail for me once a minute because an e-mail could have arrived in the intervening 60 seconds...
