We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fie

57、lds and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the sh

58、oulder of the road to think. Just then —WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from? Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk （黃昏）.I turned the car engine off. All was silent in t

59、he hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day. How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. 1 had missed it

60、 all. We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters （過(guò)濾器）take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment

65、 on rats has found. After monitoring the rats1 brain activity, researchers from the University of California Los Angeles discovered electrical activity in a region known as the hippocampus neurons （海馬體*申 經(jīng)元）differed depending on whether the rats were placed in real-world or VR environments. The

66、new findings are significant as the hippocampus is a primary driver of learning and memory in the brain. When rats walk around in real life, electrical activity in the hippocampus appears tosynchronize （同步發(fā)生）at a rate of eight heartbeats per second. Heartbeats at this frequency are generally known as ntheta （0） waves1', with stronger 0 waves seeming to improve the brain's ability to learn and keep sensory information. When placed in a VR environment, the rat's 0 waves became stronger. nIt
