The Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group has been meeting in NYC since 1991. We offer support, information, and a sense of community to adults with ADD/ADHD and related issues. Our groups motto is Were Not Lazy, Crazy, or Stupid 😊
The Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group is pleased to present the following discussion on Thursday, May 16, 2024, from 6:00-8:00 PM EDT (NYC Time) on Zoom.
Technology & Attention: A Double-Edged Sword? w/ Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD
in conversation with Katherine Ellison
Could a steady diet of electronic devices -- with their rapid-fire mental stimulation -- zap our capacity for sustained focus?
Can this same digital tech somehow come to our cognitive rescue?
And -- if both are possible -- how could this be?
On May 16, hear more from neurologist and neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley, who will be joined, in a fireside-chat format, by writer and journalist Katherine Ellison.
Dr. Gazzaley created EndeavorRx, a video game designed to help kids with ADHD learn attention skills. (It is the only program cleared for this purpose by the FDA.) He also gave us its adult counterpart, EndeavorOTC.
Earlier, Dr. Gazzaley co-wrote The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World and hosted the nationally televised special The Distracted Mind With Dr. Adam Gazzaley.
Katherine Ellison is the author of the classic ADHD family memoir, Buzz: A Year of Paying Attention. She has also written (or co-written) eight other books, and many news reports. In 1986, she was a co-recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.
