#ClassroomFocus

Imagine cruising down Rama IV in morning traffic, your focus broken by flashy billboards and blaring tuk-tuks. While the chaos of Bangkok can feel overwhelming, emerging scientific research reveals that our brains have a surprising ability to adapt and learn to filter out distractions—helping people stay focused amid sensory overload. The latest evidence, from a collaboration between Leipzig University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, explains how repeated exposure to the same distractions can literally train your neural circuits to ignore them, a finding with deep relevance for urban-dwelling Thais as well as Thai students facing digital and classroom noise (SciTechDaily).
