A little extra focus can go a long way. In many ways, we are more distracted than ever, but there are also many options to boost your focus for that extra edge. If medicine or pills to focus better are your choices, however, we recommend you speak with a licensed doctor first to ensure that they are the best option for your situation. This is because taking non-prescribed medication can have serious and negative long-term effects, often for very little short-term gain.
Most of the time, drugs that improve the user’s focus are stimulants that are designed specifically to interact with brains that have trouble focusing because of a medical diagnosis such as ADHD or depression. This means that if your brain works similarly to the average person's, these drugs have not been designed for you to use.
Generally, drugs marketed as medicine to focus better will increase your energy, often through adrenaline, which helps your brain to focus on a given item or topic. Studies have indicated, however, that one thing these drugs do not target or improve is your working memory during the period of increased energy. Even worse than that, they discovered that after the medication wore off, these drugs could disrupt the user’s sleep patterns and normal heart rhythms. Missing out on sleep especially always leads to reduced cognitive function. Together, these side effects usually mean that taking pills to focus better… causes you to focus worse
SAFER SOLUTIONS FOR BETTER FOCUS
Just because you don’t have a medical condition doesn’t mean you don’t have trouble focusing, but unless a physician has prescribed them to you, medicines and drugs should not be your solution. Fortunately, there are a number of safer, more natural methods you can try that are also backed by science.
Exercise and meditation are both proven ways to improve focus if done before an important task. If you can’t decide between the two, try out yoga to get a feel for both at once!
One of the worrying parts about using pills to focus better is missing out on sleep; this is because a good night’s rest can make a huge difference for your cognitive function the next day!
Similar to sleeping well, eating healthy foods like fruits and vegetables can benefit your cognition and help you bring 100% to your important responsibilities.
Remember to avoid cramming as much as you can, especially in a school or office – if the reason you’re considering using prescription medicine is that you don’t have enough time to study, time management might be the answer that you’re looking for.
As tempting as it is to take shortcuts, prescription drugs should only be taken under the guidance of a licensed doctor. The reason is simple – in general, it is very unlikely that these medicines will improve your cognition or performance. Time management, healthy choices, and smart compression will all go a much longer way towards improving your natural abilities than medicine or pills to focus better (unless it has been prescribed `to you). This will allow you to make better choices to feel good about in any arena.
The technology inside the Super Patch has uniquely arranged ridges that look like a QR code, when these ridges touch our skin, our cells transmit unique signals that interact with our body’s nervous system
Every physical, emotional and mental function has a specific neuro-code or “message.”
The Super Patch patterns are like QR codes and when the ridges in the pattern touch our skin, they send messages to the brain.
In the real world QR codes send messages through the internet, The Super Patch pattern QR Code sends messages through our nervous system and each patch has a unique code and a unique message.
The brain and nervous system decodes the message immediately, and a waterfall of wellness responses happen, from more energy to enhanced balance and quality of life..
Touch is an endlessly complicated sense, and that’s what makes it so cool to study! For years, The Super Patch Company has been exploring the way touch receptors and other neurons in the skin communicate with the brainstem. Our VibroTactile Technology™ demonstrates that it is possible to stimulate specific patterns and types of receptors in such a way as to induce positive reactions from the brain, including increased focus and reduced stress.
Neuroreceptors, also known as neuro receptors, neural receptors, and neurotransmitter receptors, are tiny structures formed from protein that are designed to accept information from neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers, designed to relay information. Essentially, the neurotransmitter is like a text message, and the neuroreceptor is the app that allows you to receive and read the message. These are crucial elements of the nervous system that make it possible for different parts of the body to communicate with each other and with the brain.
So neuroreceptors process and transfer all kinds of data throughout the body that it receives from neurotransmitters. Usually, the process looks something like this:
NEURORECEPTORS IN ACTION
Here’s an example: you’re playing a game of basketball; you’ve been passed the ball, and you have a clear path to the hoop in front of you. A moment later, someone from the other team rushes out to intercept you. Your body responds to the new arrival by beginning to produce the neurotransmitter adrenaline. When your neuroreceptors detect the increase in adrenaline, they send signals to your brain about the local increase. Your brain responds by triggering your “fight or flight” response, leading to your heart beating faster to allow your muscles to react more quickly. A moment later, you dash around the defender and shoot the ball at the net. You score! Then the whistle blows, the game pauses, and, no longer required to “fight or flee,” your body slows its production of epinephrine and your heart rate returns to its normal rhythm as you take a moment to catch your breath.
Neuroreceptors are very complicated, but their role as launching points for information makes them a crucial element of the nervous system. There are also a lot of neurotransmitters ready to bind to them, allowing for a vast array of responses and controls available to each one. This is also the basis of our own VibroTactile Technology™ – the idea that information is, in its early stage, an electric signal in a neuroreceptor, ready to be interpreted by the brain in a way that will be beneficial to the body. This is how we learn about, understand, and react to the world around us, and it is little short of amazing.
Touch receptors are a group of specialized neurons directly beneath the skin that are largely responsible for our ability to interact with the physical world around us. So it is probably unsurprising that they come in a lot of different shapes and forms. Each type of skin receptor is attuned to a different physical sensation, which is then transmitted to the brain. So what kinds of touch receptors are found in the skin? Let’s get started!
The main categories of touch receptor are called thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors
Of course, these are very broad ways of thinking about our touch receptors; mechanoreceptors, for example, can be further subdivided into four categories that respond to more specific kinds of physical interaction; these touch receptors are called:
Every single touch receptor in your skin is attuned to a specific kind of stimulus; together, they come together to give you all the information you need about the physical world around you.
At The Super Patch Company, we use VibroTactile (touch) Technology to stimulate these receptors and generate a specific kind of response in the brain that targets our cognitive networks, with the result being increased focus and reduced stress. After all, your brain receives countless signals on a constant basis from your sense of touch, and the ability to manipulate these signals on a deeper level is a huge leap forward for science, technology, and wellness!
Touch receptors are neurons – basic units of the nervous system that send electric signals to other neurons and to the brain, like a long chain of text messages containing crucial information about our activities. These specific receptors are found in the skin, and allow us to fully experience the world through touch. They inform us about our surroundings and protect our bodies from harm by letting us know what’s going on around us at the physical level.
You have many different kinds of touch receptors working just beneath the surface of the skin at all times. Every one, however, features a specialized ending that is designed to detect and respond to different types of physical stimulation.
You need various types of receptors, for example, to tell the difference between being touched on the arm and having your arm exposed to cold winds.
When your touch receptors are activated by physical interaction, they generate something called “action potential,” an electrical signal that travels from that receptor to your brain.
The first stop in the signal’s journey is the brainstem, which connects the spinal cord to the thalamus (among many other functions). The thalamus is responsible for receiving and sharing most sensory information with the rest of the brain. It’s like a Central Station for sensory data! Next, those signals travel to the somatosensory cortex, which is the part of the brain that interprets them and lets you know what it is you’re feeling.
Let’s say you’re out for a walk, barefoot, and you accidentally step on a rock. A few different touch receptors in your foot will activate and send information up to your somatosensory cortex about what happened. Your mechanoreceptors will send signals to the cortex, which then interprets the information: “the thing that touched the bottom of the right foot is solid, rough, and sharp.” Meanwhile, nociceptors will send a different signal that the cortex will read as “because the object was sharp, there might be some damage to the bottom of the right foot.” That “potential damage” signal is then sent to the relevant area of the brain – called the periaqueductal gray – which will assess and heal the damage, beginning with sending signals back that cause you to feel pain where the rock struck.
And remember, all of this is happening incredibly fast – there is no delay between when your foot hits the rock and the pain begins! You instantly knew that you’d stepped on a rock and that it hurt.
Touch is an endlessly complicated sense, and that’s what makes it so cool to study! For years, The Super Patch Company has been exploring the way touch receptors and other neurons in the skin communicate with the brainstem. Our VibroTactile Technology™ demonstrates that it is possible to stimulate specific patterns and types of receptors in such a way as to induce positive reactions from the brain, including increased focus and reduced stress.
Neural health is crucial and only becomes more important as you age. Taking small steps now can lead to big improvements later, and incorporating VibroTactile Technology with our Super Patch into your life is a great small step to take. Taking care of yourself has never been more important than it is now.
