Use Biofeedback to Learn Arousal Control
Use a biofeedback game to learn to increase and decrease arousal and eventually control pupil size, which influences arousal and temporal segmentation. A 'poor man version' is to look in the mirror, deliberately ramp up autonomic arousal and watch pupils dilate, then relax and make them smaller.

“The other thing is there's a really beautiful paper that came out about two years ago, which showed that people who do a biofeedback game where they're watching a little, you know, it's like a more kind of like a sine wave. And they're deliberately trying to increase their level of arousal as the curve goes up... within a few days they can learn to control their pupil size.”
