A structured, behavioral regimen or set of exercises designed to intentionally train and enhance the capacity of the visual system to sustain clear, selective, and deep attention on a target stimulus. This protocol aims to improve cognitive control and reduce distractibility by strengthening the neural circuits connecting visual processing and executive function. It is a systematic approach to attention training.
Origin
This is an applied, systematic term blending the sensory process of ‘visual focus’ with ‘protocol,’ indicating a standardized, repeatable procedure for cognitive enhancement. It finds its roots in vision science, cognitive psychology, and neuro-optometry, translating research into practical application.
Mechanism
The protocol works by engaging and strengthening the neural pathways from the visual cortex to the prefrontal cortex, which governs executive attention. Repeated, structured visual tasks drive neuroplasticity, improving the efficiency of eye movements, visual processing speed, and the suppression of irrelevant visual input. This optimization enhances the allocation of cognitive resources for complex tasks.
