Why can't I concentrate?

Why do we think the way we do? That’s a question that sums up a lot of questions in the CrowdScience inbox, so this week we’re tackling a whole load of them with the help of neuroscience and psychology.

A number of listeners want us to concentrate on concentration. Why is it tiring? Why does turning the radio down help? And why does one listener’s tongue hang out when they’re thinking really hard?

There are also questions about cravings, how our brains change gear and why we can still see lights even when it’s completely dark.

Presenter Alex Lathbridge is joined by a panel of experts in how we think, and why we think what we think, for a programme that’s guaranteed to make you think.
