I love multitasking. One of my favorite things to do to relax is to play a video game where I multitask 3 characters simultaneously (Eve). I don't find it stressful. I enjoy having my brain fully engaged and having so many tasks to perform at once I can only focus on the game and don't have time for distractions like real life, work, my SO, etc.
You are claiming this behavior is damaging, but I don't see how. Am I "wearing my brain out" or something? My self-perception of this is that I have improved at this type of multitasking over time.
Anyway, it's a very interesting topic to me. Like the rest of the commenters here, I'd really like to read the actual research paper. Also, welcome to reddit where we do our research and ask the tough questions ;)
