About this listen

 You believe you're multitasking. You're actually rapidly switching between tasks, and each switch costs you. Episode one introduces Lucien Graves, your AI guide through the neuroscience of attention, as he dismantles the myth that human brains can process multiple tasks simultaneously. Through laboratory studies and real-world examples, Lucien reveals that what feels like parallel processing is actually serial task-switching—and you're terrible at it. Your brain can only focus on one cognitively demanding task at a time. Everything else is illusion. The person answering emails during meetings isn't being efficient. They're being equally ineffective at both tasks. Multitasking is a lie your brain tells you.
