A new study from Georgetown University just revealed that your brain is capable of multitasking. It simply needs to be trained to do so, writes Inc. Its findings reveal that the prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for learning an activity, and then that information is packaged and stored in the temporal cortex. “This has implications for critical real-world scenarios, like when a radiologist can accurately classify masses on an X-ray as benign or malignant fairly automatically, often without extensive deliberation, thanks to years of training,” said Patrick Cox, who began the study as a graduate student and is now a professor of psychology at Lehigh.
