I either listen to dubstep or science-related Youtube videos while coloring. How about you?
xyphink,
I’m not a multitasker, what I am doing is paying attention to the areas around the colored area to see if I am coloring correctly. I’m constructing the other layer to layer connections when moving up and down the graphic, this uses up all my brain capacity! LOL!
talking with all sorts of crazy people in the chat.
working… >.>
I often get distracted by the chat while coloring if there is an interesting conversation, which is not uncommon and is not by any means a bad thing in my mind. Otherwise I generally am either very focused on tracing, very focused on examining something interesting that I noticed in the cube, or very distracted by thinking or reading stuff.

well this morning when I saw the phrase “8 Players Tracing” I heard it in my head to the tune of “the Twelve Days of Christmas”. So now that tune’s stuck in my head and so I’m kind of composing the Twelve Days of Eyewire in my head now, but I’ve only got lyrics for 3 days so far

7 branches growing…2 J cells, and a Starburst Amacrine (just draw out the last syllables).
haha sounds like this needs it’s own thread!
Listen dubstep too ! But I am new here so it its hard for me still to get the point … anyway, someday I will get it !
I listen to music, watch shows and movies (on my husband’s computer), or do homework between cubes (especially if the game is slow). I also tend to chat now and then in the game, even more when there are a lot of new people on.
I listen to music and watch the chat.
What type of music?
Usually have a hockey game playing on my other monitor, and chatting. Tried watching subtitled anime once, that didn’t work out so well though. 
Listening to radio talk shows. Eyewire is the only thing that doesn’t distract me from listening, cooking, housework is incompatible.
Here are some music selections from players via chat on July 16

Laurippt listens to Tom Dickens
NPR That is how I heard about EyeWire.
I listen to/catch up on various podcasts.
I read books; UGG my internet is that slow.
It is the chat that keeps me hooked;
I learn so much from other players - lots of topics too!
I was surprised how easy it was to talk on the phone while I was tracing. Of course, if I ran into a particularly tricky cube, it would be another story. Luckily things were pretty straightforward–both on the phone and in the cubes.
