"Popcorn brain" is a term used to describe the overstimulation of the brain due to constant exposure to digital devices, leading to an inability to focus or enjoy slower, less stimulating activities. The term popcorn brain was coined by David M. Levy, a computer scientist at the University of Washington.
It is named after the "popping" effect of constant notifications, quick dopamine hits from likes, and endless streams of content. While technology has transformed the way we live and communicate, it has also introduced significant challenges to mental health, productivity, and social well-being and popcorn brain is one of them.
