Interesting.
Earl Miller, a specialist in Neurology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the human brain is not able to focus on two or more things at once.

The test is about switching between two tasks. You are not really doing both at the same time. The test does show that task switching reduces your efficiency.
