That's exactly right. So the unconscious brain, which is most of what's happening... It's all about speed and efficiency. So if you look at, for example, this study has been done with playing Tetris. So you take a bunch of people, male and female, of course, left and right-handed, and you teach them to play Tetris.

So when they're first learning, they're amateurs, their brain is on fire with activity as measured functional magnetic resonance imaging. So you're measuring their brains. After they become good at it, the activity shrinks and shrinks. Right. It's less and less. I did this. I competed against this 10-year-old world champion cup stacker. So he takes these cups and stacks them.

It's this routine that you do as quickly as you can. I had never done it before. So we both wore high-density EEG caps, electroencephalography, and we looked at what was going on. Of course, my brain was on fire with activities. I was trying to figure out what the heck to do. But he, practicing four hours a day on this, His brain is essentially quiet while he does this incredibly rapid routine.

So it's exactly right. The job of the brain is to take novel things and say, hey, if this is relevant and I need this, I'm going to burn it down into the circuitry so I never have to think about it again. Like bicycle riding. When you're first learning, you're paying attention to your torso and your legs and you don't know what you're doing.

When you get good at it, then you can text on your phone, you can talk to someone while you're biking, because it's now part of the machinery of the brain.
