Pay Attention! - Brain Research Starts to Locate the Root Causes of Distraction
Interesting article on brian research and distraction. See:

The research shows that you can't "will" yourself not to be distracted. Willful attention and distraction are controlled by two different parts of the brain and distraction occurs even when you are trying to concentrate. Also, some people are naturally more easily distracted than others.
