It is commonly perceived that multitasking is highly inefficient, with the brain often "crashing" or scrambling when trying to do two things at once. A recent study by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has uncovered the mechanism behind this, revealing how the brain dynamically reorganizes itself to break through this cognitive bottleneck and achieve efficient, simultaneous multitasking.
