Human attention span shorter than goldfish
New brain research from Microsoft finds the human attention span is down to a mere eight seconds — one second less than a goldfish.
The study which surveyed 2,000 Canadians and looked at electroencephalograms (EEG) of 112 more, points out that 15 years ago, our attention span was 12 seconds … but by 2013 it had fallen by four seconds.
