ABOUT DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN
Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the #Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also Chief Scientific Advisor for the Virtusan App, and has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neuroplasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning.
Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, given to the scientist making the most significant discoveries in the study of vision. His lab’s most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Huberman also works on neural regeneration and directs a clinical trial to promote visual restoration in diseases that cause blindness. He is actively involved in developing tools now in use by Special Operations branches of the military in the U.S. and Canada, professional athletes, and technology industries to optimize performance in high stress environments, enhance neuroplasticity, mitigate stress, and optimize sleep.

Can you tell more about the 17 min focus protocol?

Thank you for inquiring. Lets start with " *_interoception_* ", basically the sense of one's own bodily sensations, including awareness of internal physiological states such as hunger, thirst, and pain. The 17-minute focus protocol is a technique that involves focusing on one's interoceptive sensations for a period of 17-minutes in order to increase mindfulness and attention to the present moment. - To practice the 17-minute focus protocol, find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes. - Begin by focusing your attention on your breath, noticing the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body. - As you continue to focus on your breath, start to bring your attention to your body, noticing any sensations or feelings that arise. This may include physical sensations, such as the sensation of your clothes on your skin or the temperature of the room, as well as emotional feelings or thoughts that come up. - Try to be present with these sensations without judgment, simply noticing them and allowing them to be there. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath and the present moment. - Continue this focus for 17 minutes, or for as long as you are able. The goal of the 17-minute focus protocol is to increase mindfulness and attention to the present moment by focusing on interoceptive sensations. This can help you become more aware of your body's needs and can have a calming effect on the mind and body. There is also research out that Dr. Huberman refers to indicating that this protocol is helpful for reducing cognitive decline in older adults. For more on this you might want to listen to #HubermanLab Podcast Episode #37. It is important to note that the 17-minute focus protocol is just one technique for increasing interoceptive awareness and mindfulness, and there are many other approaches that may be helpful as well. You might also want to try a Body Scan meditation, which you can find in the Virtusan App. And as a final note, interoceptive practices and body scan meditation are similar in that they both involve paying attention to one's own bodily sensations, it should be noted that they are not exactly the same thing. Thank you.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎯 Intense focus is possible for all people, including those with ADHD. 00:13 🧠 The mesolimbic reward pathway in the brain plays a crucial role in focus and attention. 01:08 💊 Dopamine is a key neuromodulator that enhances activity in the prefrontal cortex and aids in focus. Medications like Ritalin and Adderall increase dopamine levels. 02:03 ☕ Caffeine increases focus by boosting dopamine receptor density and efficacy. 02:46 🧪 Compounds like racetams, nootropics like newpept, and Alpha GPC can enhance focus through various mechanisms, but safety should be considered. 03:13 🧘 Behavioral protocols like a 17-minute focus training and using visual targets can improve attention and focus.
