I felt the same way when I found that article (about 15 minutes into Googling "recency bias" and "recency effect" along with other assorted words (I think this came up after I added "pathology") after the topic post went up). I was like, "holy crap, this is so amazing and awful and beautiful and how in the world do I use this for my post because omg." *flail*
FWIW, I would have loved to read about your TBI and how it has affected you. Brains and how they work (or in some cases, don't work) are completely fascinating to me. But I also understand how hard it is to write about something deeply personal and make it interesting--or at least I have a hard time doing it.
I have a lot of focus/memory issues due to psychological trauma and I remember all kinds of stupid things, too. And never the important things, of course. Another coping skill I have developed is an amazing ability to find things because I'm forever forgetting and misplacing. XD
