From: Reading on a smartphone affects sigh generation, brain activity, and comprehension

Brain activity around the forehead is increased during reading with a smartphone. (a) A representative pattern of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) activity on the left probe before, during, and after reading sessions. (b, c) RM-ANOVA showed that activity recorded with NIRS increased during the reading sessions with a smartphone medium from the left and right probes compared to that before and after reading sessions. The difference between the media was clearly visible in the left probe (*P < 0.05). Error bars show standard error of the mean. S smartphone, P paper.
