Hello, Distraction :)

In this episode of Hello, Brain, Collin is joined by Laura, Dan, and Ramona to explore a question that hits close to home for all of us: Are we unintentionally wiring ourselves to be distracted? From constant phone checking to endless scrolling, today’s environment is shaping our attention in ways we rarely stop to consider.Together, the team unpacks the neuroscience of attention, reframing focus as a competition between neural networks, not a simple matter of trying harder. They dive into how neuroplasticity interacts with modern technology, what happens in the brain during constant task-switching, and how notifications and novelty may be quietly dysregulating our stress response.
