A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

French police have warned drivers about an unusual problem: deer have begun eating fermented fruit in large amounts and behaving erratically.

The animals run in circles, fall over, roll on the ground, and lose coordination near roads.

Local authorities are urging motorists to be especially cautious in forest areas, as collisions with these “drunk” deer are becoming more frequent.

People in southern Russia are reporting a surge in unusually aggressive Hyalomma ticks, which reportedly actively chase hosts instead of simply waiting in grass like ordinary forest ticks.

Russian media say the large ticks have become particularly active across regions including Rostov, Krasnodar, Stavropol, Astrakhan and Kalmykia.

The main concern is that Hyalomma ticks can carry Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, a potentially deadly disease with a high fatality rate if untreated.

Some reports also claim the ticks are far less responsive to standard repellents than ordinary species.

MAGA is melting down after buyers got an email confirming they will never get their Trump Phones, or even get their deposits back.

An estimated 590,000 people reportedly paid a $100 deposit each, roughly $59 million collected, and not a single confirmed customer has received a phone.

And remember, this thing was supposed to be “Made in America.” But if it ever gets made at all, it’ll reportedly be made in China.

Trump knows his base is full of suckers, and they keep proving him right.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

In my opinion, yesterday a turning point in the war took place.

Perhaps we still do not fully grasp the significance of what happened.

For the first time, Putin publicly showed his weakness and inability to independently protect his capital, his parade, and himself from our strikes. Because of this, a frightened Putin was forced to publicly humiliate himself and ask Trump, as a mediator, to help stop a strike on Moscow.

De facto, Putin asked Trump to protect him from the Ukrainians.

I consider President Zelenskyy’s order a brilliant informational slap in the face and an additional public humiliation.

It is obvious that before and during the parade, Putin was physically afraid - he felt vulnerable and threatened.

Putin publicly appeared weak and humiliated, and in Russia’s "prison-style" political culture, such things are not forgiven.

A weak "tsar," mocked by everyone, cannot remain a tsar in Russia.

These are very, very hard times for Ukraine. However, Ukraine is strong, resilient, and continues the fight.

Slava Ukraini!

🤷🏻‍♂️ Un nene a distrus o pictură de pe peretele exterior al unei biserici din Argeș. Sigur, o lucrate atipică. După ce a distrus pictura cu o lopată, le-a zis vecinilor că e, de acum, biserica viilor. Biserica „cu moartea râzând” e monument istoric.

Asta trebui să se lase cu dosar penal! “Moartea” de pe peretele bisericii din satul Ciocănăi din comuna Moşoaia e o “vedetă” cunoscută și admirată de mai bine de un secol jumate. Cineva cu ușor retard ( fără glumă) a distrus-o cu o casma. Nu știu mai multe. E scandalos!!! Chestiile astea apar din motive de incultura crasa, superstiții bolnave și conspiraționism mistic venit din “zona”binecunoscuta. 160 de ani in acest sat și multe altele “moartea” a fost zugrăvită cu un scop anume și cu o semnificație anume. Faptul ca niște nebuni au prins curaj să facă așa ceva e o dovadă a unei crize misticoide care merge dincolo de simpla prostie sau neînțelegere. Inclusiv a Bisericii care a încurajat asemenea derapaje(chiar dacă în acest caz nu e vinovat popa). Căutați pe net ca fresca e super-faimoasă!

It’s insane.
Putin has refused the 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange.
This prisoner exchange was a condition for the ceasefire—and, consequently, for Ukraine’s agreement not to attack the parade in Moscow.

Trump, too, announced on Truth Social: a ceasefire plus an exchange of 1,000 prisoners on each side.

Putin—that piece of shit in human form—has once again lied to the entire world.
