Essay On Multitask

The brain receives and interprets information in many different ways for many different situations.

In the cyborg eye project, we learned how the eye sees something and then how the entire process of seeing in the eye happens then the eye sends signals to the brain to process.

The data we took from the assignment proves that none of our class can multitask.
