Research conducted by Rice University was based on two studies that examined participants' behaviors and digital media consumption trends, associated self-control patterns followed by brain activity with eating and physical activity regimens<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Research led by Richard B. Lopez, Todd. F. Heatherton and Dylan D. Wagner<\/strong>, researchers at Rice University<\/strong>selected 72 of the participants from the first group to be part of the second study. This study consisted of those observing unrelated images including some fatty foods. In this way the study found that those with multitask tendencies, when exposed to food signals, showed different patterns in their brain activity, generating a stimulus.<\/p>

People with multitasking or multitasking behaviors are those who use devices and alternate their use without thinking about it, for example, checking the mobile phone when the computer is being used.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The study had 132 participants, all adults ages 18 to 23, who had to answer questions related to their behaviors and trends in the use of their mobile phones. In addition, they went through a measurement of their body fat, as 37% of participants were overweight or obese.<\/p>

However, different forms of measurement were needed to understand the relationship between digital devices and weight gain. He found a picture in which the habit of staying in touch with these devices, relates to the excitation processes of neurons that stimulate the person's appetite and lack of self-control in order to cope with such reactions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Undoubtedly, modern socialization practices adapt to the requirements that new technologies demand, which means that more diseases are generated connected with lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle and weight gain, that is why future research aims to be more than descriptive, integrative and prone to propose solutions to improve the health of the population<\/strong>.<\/p>

La investigaci\u00f3n realizada por Rice University se bas\u00f3 en dos estudios que examinaron las conductas de los participantes y sus tendencias de consumo de medios digitales, se asociaron los patrones de autocontrol seguidos por la actividad cerebral a los reg\u00edmenes de alimentaci\u00f3n y actividad f\u00edsica. La investigaci\u00f3n dirigida por realizado por Richard B. L\u00f3pez, Todd. F. Heatherton y Dylan D. Wagner, investigadores de Rice University, cuya hip\u00f3tesis indica que la multitarea de los medios est\u00e1 asociada con un desequilibrio entre los procesos reguladores y las respuestas relacionadas con la recompensa a los est\u00edmulos alimenticios apetitosos, lo que resulta en una mayor sensibilidad a las se\u00f1ales externas de alimentos entre las multitareas de los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n. Las personas con comportamientos de multitarea o multitasking son aquellos que utilizan dispositivos y alternan su uso sin pensarlo, por ejemplo, revisar el tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil cuando se est\u00e1 utilizando la computadora. El estudio tuvo 132 participantes, todos adultos de 18 a 23 a\u00f1os, quienes tuvieron que responder preguntas relacionadas a sus conductas y tendencias en el uso de sus tel\u00e9fonos m\u00f3viles. Adem\u00e1s, pasaron por una medici\u00f3n de su grasa corporal, ya que el 37% de los participantes ten\u00edan sobrepeso u obesidad. No obstante, se necesit\u00f3 emplear diferentes formas de medici\u00f3n para conocer la relaci\u00f3n que existe entre los dispositivos digitales y el aumento de peso. Se encontr\u00f3 con un panorama en el que la costumbre mantenerse en contacto con estos dispositivos, se relaciona con los procesos de excitaci\u00f3n de las neuronas que estimulan el apetito de la persona y la falta de autocontrol para poder sobrellevar dichas reacciones. La investigaci\u00f3n encabezada por Rice University seleccion\u00f3 del primer grupo a 72 de los participantes para formar parte del segundo estudio. Dicho estudio que consisti\u00f3 para los en observar im\u00e1genes no relacionadas incluidas algunas de alimentos grasos. De esta forma el estudio descubri\u00f3 que aquellos con tendencias de multitask, cuando estaban expuestos a se\u00f1ales de comida mostraron patrones diferentes en su actividad cerebral, generando un est\u00edmulo. Sin duda alguna, las pr\u00e1cticas modernas de sociabilizaci\u00f3n se adaptan a los requerimientos que las nuevas tecnolog\u00edas demandan, lo que implica que se generen m\u00e1s enfermedades conectadas con la falta de ejercicio, el sedentarismo y la ganancia de peso, es por eso que las futuras investigaciones pretenden ser m\u00e1s que descriptivas, integradoras y propensas a proponer soluciones para mejorar la salud de la poblaci\u00f3n.
