In some cases, hyperfocus can "capture" a person, perhaps causing them to appear unfocused or to start several projects, but complete few. Some examples include spending "too much" time playing video games or becoming pleasurably absorbed by one aspect of an assignment or task to the detriment of the overall assignment. However, hyperfocus is not always described in a positive light. The flow state shares many characteristics with hyperfocus. Named by the psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi in 1975, the concept has been widely referred to across a variety of fields (and is particularly well recognized in occupational therapy), though the concept has been claimed to have existed for thousands of years under other names. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one's sense of time.

In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

We experimentally show that the crossover from negative to positive shear-rate dependence occurs at a characteristic shear rate, relating to competition between two different physical processes. However, it remains unknown how these two distinct laws are connected (or not connected). In statistical physics, another empirical law holds for much faster deformation (such as flow on an inclined plane), for which the friction coefficient exhibits positive shear-rate dependence. In geoscience, the rate- and state-dependent friction law is established based on experiments conducted at very slow shear rates, at which the friction coefficient generally exhibits negative shear-rate dependence. How friction depends on the sliding velocity is an important problem because it determines the stability of mountains, hills and faults for this reason, it has been investigated in various research fields.
