I notice that when I play guitar and get really intensely into it, afterwards, it's like my brain is switched off and I can't think straight (I'm unable to see my thoughts and their logical structure clearly). It only takes around 10 minutes until I'm back, but it can be really pronounced. I guess it could have to do with the right brain being strongly activated while playing guitar, and that it takes a while for the activity to stabilize again. The complete opposite happens when I do a couple of sets of Dual N Back (a game that trains your working memory). Then, it's as if my thoughts turn into visible objects.
