bookmarks that enhance your reading experience
I found this article very interesting and insightful. It is based on neuroscience research from Emory University to assess the “lingering neural effects of reading a narrative”. I really like that description. The study was performed using fMRI technology, which has proven to be a valuable tool in assessing brain activity. The article is pretty easy to digest, and a quick read:

Most people will only ever see one of these MRI scans if there is a problem… but scientists have been using them more frequently over the last twenty years to study normal brain function and structure as well.

I found this illustration interesting and informative. Brains are pretty amazing!
The first brilliant colors of dawn present themselves, but are unnoticed by a young couple in a grey sedan. The bright orange edge of the sun emerges on the horizon, but these two figures are distracted by the commotion that immediately surrounds them, and the final goal that lies directly in front of them. They did not expect that their modest vehicle would stand out the way it does here at the border. Their Chevrolet Caprice is already several years old; the shine of the paint is worn, but it has an air of luxury when compared to the vehicles surrounding them. The year is 1983, the Caprice is a ’76, but the engine runs smoothly and evenly, while the cars around them sputter and spew black smoke into the air. Continue reading “Garrett Prologue”
These unique bookmarks have been designed and selected specifically to enhance your reading experience. They are not only stylish, they also feature pronounced texture and thick fibers. The tactile sensation that you feel when holding these bookmarks will activate specific regions within your brain, that are not normally active while reading. These features are intended to help you become more completely immersed in what you are reading or learning. The additional distinction and emphasis that this can bring to your reading time is what prompted the name for the line of bookmarks, the website, and the company. You’ve got to try it.
