Interoception and Attention Practices

The video discusses a 17-minute practice that can significantly improve focus and reduce attentional blinks, benefiting both children and adults, including those with ADHD. It introduces the concept of open monitoring and panoramic vision, which can enhance attention by allowing the brain to process more information. The practice involves interoception, focusing on internal states, and has been shown to have long-lasting effects on attention and cognitive health, potentially offsetting age-related decline.
