Did some research into why physical writing is linked to so many memory and learning benefits. More of the brain is activated when physically writing. Including many of the “hubs” that are important for memory formation. The act of deciding what to write and thinking that through also helps to activate brain regions important for memroy.

I tried using Google’s Gemini Deep Research to get info on this topic. I think it did a pretty good job collecting information from reliable sources and citing them where appropriate. This let me jump to the source material and read a bit deeper into the summary it had generated.

The data presentation was also well done. It had a good flow and was able to construct a few tables where relevant. Overall, pretty pleased with how it went and I will likely continue to use it (or another “deep research” type tool from other AI providers) when I want to research a topic deeper than a Wikipedia page but not read an entire book on the subject.
