▶ Optimizing Workspace for Productivity, Focus & Creativity | Huberman Lab Essentials 29:02 “There are tools that you can use to increase your focus, for instance, focusing your visual attention on one location for 30 to 60 seconds prior to entering a focused work bout.” ▷ How to Set & Achieve Goals | Huberman Lab Essentials 9:14 “So if we're focusing very intensely on a given point, regardless of how far away from us that point is, our visual system engages a certain set of neurons, neural circuits that are involved in resolving fine detail and that can evaluate small changes over small periods of time.” ▷ How Your Thoughts Are Built & How You Can Shape Them | Dr. Jennifer Groh 2:00:03 “Many schoolroom classrooms begin before the lesson with the kids literally focusing on a single spot... it actually has been shown to work pretty well for improving attention in, you know, the subsequent, you know, 40 minutes to an hour.” ▷ ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus | Huberman Lab Essentials 26:26 “It only took a few minutes each day to do this 30 seconds in one condition or maybe a minute and then at another station of looking a little bit further out and a little bit further out.” ▷ How to Make Better Decisions | Dr. Michael Platt 36:26 “There are a couple of really interesting papers that have led to some practices mainly in China where students focus on a fixation point before they sit down to do cognitive work. And it improves their attention and performance on cognitive work.” ▷ How to Focus to Change Your Brain | Huberman Lab Essentials 25:00 “So, put simply, if you want to improve your ability to focus, practice visual focus.” ▷ Optimal Protocols for Studying & Learning 23:40 “You could even do it with eyes open by focusing on a visual target, allowing yourself to blink... and then just making sure that your visual attention and cognitive attention comes back to that visual target over and over again.” ▷ LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 11:09 “children are being encouraged to teach themselves how to maintain visual focus on a target some distance away from them, which then allows them to maintain cognitive focus when they move to their work.” ▷ LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman at the ICC Sydney Theatre 45:44 “They actually have them do what? they have them focus on visual targets. The longer you focus on a visual target, we know the longer you bring about the activation of certain neural circuits in the brain that allow for better focus.” ▷ LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman Question & Answer in Los Angeles, CA 5:00 “And this focusing exercise essentially consists of spending one to three minutes trying to maintain visual focus. And yes, you are allowed to blink.” ▷ Focus Toolkit: Tools to Improve Your Focus & Concentration 1:18:33 “What is a practice that has been studied in various laboratories, and that's being employed in various schools, is to have children or adults visually focus on one location for a given period of time. How long? Anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes, and believe it or not, three minutes is a long time to maintain visual focus at one location.” ▷ Optimize & Control Your Brain Chemistry to Improve Health & Performance 1:45:01 “Things like staring in a particular visual target at the same distance at which you're going to perform some work and doing that for 30 to 60 seconds, narrowing in a very deliberate way, your visual field, and then moving into a focused work bout.” ▷ Optimizing Workspace for Productivity, Focus, & Creativity 1:35:52 “focusing your visual attention on one location for example for 30 to 60 seconds prior to entering a focused work bout. This has been shown again and again...” ▷ The Science of Setting & Achieving Goals 52:56 “"You're going to focus your visual attention on one point beyond your peripersonal space... and with some effort, you're going to hold your visual attention for 30 to 60 seconds."” ▷ ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus 1:28:00 “There's a study again, I'll link to this study, entitled Improvement of Attention in Elementary School Students Through Fixation-Focused Training Activity. ... what they found was a short period of focusing on a visual target allowed these school children to greatly enhance their ability to focus on other types of information.” ▷ How to Focus to Change Your Brain 54:21 “What's interesting and vitally important to understanding how to access neuroplasticity is that you can use your visual focus and you can increase your visual focus as a way of increasing your mental focus abilities more broadly. So put simply, if you want to improve your ability to focus, practice visual focus.” ▷ How to Focus to Change Your Brain 1:03:45 “But if you can keep focus by blinking less, and by focusing your eyes to a particular location... the more that you can do this, the more that you can maintain a kind of a cone or a tunnel of mental focus.”
