Visuospatial Regulation  ·  Cognitive Interference

Still

Intrusive threat loops draw on the brain's visuospatial machinery. Give that machinery a demanding task and the loop has less to run on. This practice occupies that capacity. It doesn't fight the noise; it leaves no room for it.

The mechanism

DisplaceVisuospatial working memory has finite capacity. A spatial task fills it. The threat loop has nowhere to run. CompleteEach finished row or matched shape is a small, clean completion. Enough of them and your attention shifts from scanning for threat to the task in front of you. EmergeThe regulation happens without you trying. You finish and notice the noise has stopped. That is the mechanism confirming itself.

Three minutes. No score. No failure. Keep your attention on the shapes and let everything else wait.
