The Science of Selective Search
In a world of constant digital interruption, Selective Attention is the brain's filter. This game drills the Frontoparietal Attention Network, which is responsible for focusing on task-relevant information.
By searching for a specific icon among "Multiple Stimuli," you are training your brain to suppress the Bottom-Up Capture of attention caused by bright colors or interesting shapes that are not your target.
"Improving visual search speed directly enhances your ability to scan complex documents, navigate traffic, and identify critical data points in crowded displays."
Inhibitory Control
This drill also tests Inhibitory Control. When a distractor looks similar to your target, your brain must "veto" the impulse to click.
High scores in this exercise correlate with a lower susceptibility to environmental distractions and higher levels of sustained concentration.
