If you want to know why it’s so difficult to tackle a big project like spring cleaning, blame your brain, says Randall O’Reilly, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at CU Boulder.
O’Reilly can discuss the ways that the human brain helps or harms your efforts to tidy up come spring time: How does the brain reward progress on a task like cleaning? Why is it hard for people to get rid of clutter?
O’Reilly is director of the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at CU Boulder. His research explores how the underlying mechanisms of the brain give rise to human behavior and other phenomena. Contact him at randy.oreilly@colorado.edu or 720-938-0523.
