Earl Miller has researched multitasking from a neuroscientist's perspective.[1] The concept of "switch cost" is interesting:
"We are only good at doing one thing at a time. But we are switching back and forth. It takes time for our brain to change from one task to another.
Switch cost is when it takes your brain a short while … to realign for a new task. Your brain has to backtrack and figure out where it was in the first place."[2]
