If it seems like you have thousands of ideas racing through your brain all day, it's because
00:07
you do. Newsweek reports that the average person will usually have around 6,200 thoughts in one
00:13
day. Psychology experts at Queen's University in Canada determined this after creating a way
00:17
to find out when one thought ends and another starts. The findings, published in the journal
00:22
Nature Communications, describes a thought worm, or when a human focuses on one idea.
00:26
When a person moves on to a new thought, they make a new thought worm, creating a pattern
00:30
scientists can detect. Previously, researchers have tried to use brain imaging to figure out
00:34
what someone's thinking about, which is as hard as it sounds. But this new method helps
00:38
researchers detect when a person is thinking without regard to what the thought is. This
00:42
could help test how our brain patterns are influenced by external factors and possibly
00:46
help detect disorders like ADHD or even schizophrenia in the future.
