Research Writing — Attention, AI & Cognition
ongoing · Jan 1, 2024 → present
7/10
Published research-driven writing on attention and technology: a 30-day social-media detox case study with attention testing and QEEG; essays on the cognitive cost of generative AI; and how smartphones may reshape attention, memory, and independent thinking.
Multiple public essays/case studies on davidrabinow.com and Medium spanning attention science, generative AI learning costs, and smartphone cognition.
Intellectual curiosity beyond shipping code — connecting human cognition to how we design and use technology.
Writing forces hypotheses to meet evidence. The detox study especially made personal behavior change measurable rather than anecdotal.
