Source text - English What are you doing when you aren't doing anything at all?If you said "nothing," then you have just passed a test in logic and flunked a test in neuroscience. When people perform mental tasks--adding numbers, comparing shapes, identifying faces--different areas of their brains become active, and brain scans show these active areas as brightly colored squares on an otherwise dull gray background. But researchers have recently discovered that when these areas of our brains light up, other areas go dark. When we appear to be doing nothing, we are clearly doing something.
The human body moves forward in time at the rate of one second per second whether we like it or not. But the human mind can move through time in any direction and at any speed it chooses. Our ability to close our eyes and imagine the pleasures of Super Bowl Sunday or remember the excesses of New Year's Eve is a fairly recent evolutionary development, and our talent for doing this is unparalleled in the animal kingdom. We are a race of time travelers, unfettered by chronology and capable of visiting the future or revisiting the past whenever we wish. If our neural time machines are damaged by illness, age or accident, we may become trapped in the present.
Translation - Chinese 当你什么也不做的时候你在做什么？如果回答“什么也不做”，你只是通过了逻辑测试，但却没有通过神经学测试。人们在进行脑力工作时——比如做加法、比较物体的形状或辨认面孔时，脑部的不同区域会活跃起来，脑部扫描显示活跃的区域为高亮区，其它则为阴影区。最新研究发现，这些区域发亮时，其它区域就会变暗。表面上看起来我们什么也没做，实际上却并非如此。
