Since the 1990s, experimental psychologists have started experiments on the nature and limits of human multitasking. It has been shown multitasking is not as workable as concentrated times. In general, these studies have disclosed that people show severe interference when even very simple tasks are performed at the same time, if both tasks require selecting and producing action (e.g., (Gladstones, Regan & Lee 1989) (Pashler 1994)). Many researchers believe that action planning represents a "bottleneck", which the human brain can only perform one task at a time.[3] Psychiatrist Edward M. Hallowell[4] has gone so far as to describe multitasking as a “mythical activity in which people believe they can perform two or more tasks simultaneously as effectively as one.”
Others have researched multitasking in specific domains, such as learning. Mayer and Moreno [5] have studied the phenomenon of cognitive load in multimedia learning extensively and have concluded that it is difficult, and possibly impossible to learn new information while engaging in multitasking. Junco and Cotten examined how multitasking affects academic success and found that students who engaged in more multitasking reported more problems with their academic work.[6]
Personally, I have enough to contend with just engaging brain while opening mouth.... ;D :D ;)
Do not listen to music as I would find it distracting but as said previously its personal choice.
personally, i wouldn't listen to music on the bike, its too distracting, i need all my concentration for the road.
I've got a portable DVD player mounted to the tank. Makes long trips fly by. I watched the police academy box set on the way down to Tuscany.
I've been thinking of getting a Kimble. It would fit nicely in my map bag but I'm not sure how easy turning the pages would be at 120 mph :-/
Always wondered what you were using your G4 for, as don't know anyone else with one!Quote:

Though never listened to music on my BIG BIKE, as I suppose the road can change very quickly at 60-70mph, (my 125 struggled to do 55) and I do feel it requires my full attention. I do find, however, that I often 'think things through', think about dinner, or how I'm going to spend my evening. So as well as giving me a physical freedom, riding also gives my mind great liberty. :D
I've never listened to music when riding.. I love the howl of the wind and my zorst!! 8-) :D :)
No music prefer the sound of my bike with a Mivv GP exhaustQuote:
