Attention Grains: Quantifying the Cognitive Fuel of the Digital Economy

The digital era has magnified human attention scarcity, turning it into a pivotal resource for well‑being and productivity. This paper introduces the Attention Grains (GAs) Model and its Nurture‑Drain‑Invest (NDI) metabolism as a novel framework to understand, quantify, and manage the brain’s “cognitive fuel”.

Abstract

The digital era has magnified human attention scarcity, turning it into a pivotal resource for well‑being and productivity. This paper introduces the Attention Grains (GAs) Model and its Nurture‑Drain‑Invest (NDI) metabolism as a novel framework to understand, quantify, and manage the brain’s “cognitive fuel”.
