[[Flow_(psychology)|Flow]] has been described as involving highly-focused attention on the task at hand, loss of self-consciousness, and distorted time [[Perception|perception]], among other cognitive characteristics. Some people report that during flow states they are less aware of [[Autonomic nervous system|autonomic]] responses such as hunger, fatigue, and discomfort. Some researchers hypothesize that more challenging tasks can counter-intuitively require less effort to perform.<ref name="Moller"/> <br />
Flow has been difficult to study, however, because it's difficult to produce in a controlled laboratory setting. Most experiments have relied heavily on correlating the presence of flow with various attributes of the task and the subjects' reported experiences.<br />
