I did not exactly focus on the circle, i focused on the numbers, i counted the numbers one by one inside my mind and promised it that it would all be worth it.
The difference is, in real life, your attention span jumps around as it likes which is why sometimes it’d very short. If your mind doesn’t deem it important, it won’t care. Here, your brain wants to pay attention to the dot just to prove that it can. It’s much easier to stay focused.
This is why people, some with adhd conditions, find real benefit and have success with the “game-ify your life” approach- “how much can i do in 30 minutes only?” rather than “i must do this until it’s done” or, “I’m not good at this thing, but, I will reward myself for getting started and i’ll also make it interesting with decorations that make me happy” and such. (Might not be the best explanation of the concept but…)… People thrive on challenge, of the particular mix of brain chemicals and reward circuits. You probably know this anyway ☺️

@@lobstotsbol you see like a dark purple color where it was green circle, for example when circle changed its size you can see dark purple where green circle is supposed to be, and of course after the end of the video most of us see circle from the video "buried into our eyes" but its color is that deep purple or dark purple more precisely :)
Fun fact: after staring at the green circle for 3 minutes, something called an impossible color is seen when the screen goes black. In in this case, since the circle was a green color, the impossible color took on a purple look. If you want to know more, there are several people on youtube that can explain it better than me.
Fun fact: The blue after-image from staring at the green dot is a color you're not normally able to perceive, as it's simultaneous blue and darker than black.
This is pretty simple. You don't have to look away from the green circle in order to look at other things, you're constantly looking at other things as well even though your focus is just on a specific object, it's called peripheral/ambient awareness.
Video: Focus on the circle. Me: *Relies on my peripheral vision to see everything that happens in the background while focusing on the dot at the same time*
This does not measure attention span, but rather your control over reflexive eye movents It is normal and good for your eyes to shift focus to something noticable. This is how you keep yourself safe from unexpected threats. If you wanted to measure attention span or distractibity, it should have ben just a black screen saying you couldn’t switch to another video, read comments, or anything else for the duration of the vid
In my own experience, my eyes were stuck with the circle and the numbers, I thought I lost it once the dinosaur appeared due to the many times I played Google offline game. In conclusion, my eyes were able to focus, but my mind was all over the place. Maybe that's why I enjoy reading. ;p
Well, I won this test, I thought in the end I would be asked about the many distracting things which came into my way, and as they were in my peripheral I kept on memorising them slightly but did not move my pupil anywhere else apart from the dot. Now I am feeling hypnotized, lol!
Lol there were so many distractions that we could be talking forever about them! Great work though :), I made a 10 minute version too if you wanna try that!
During the three minutes, I legit got the inspiration for an entire video game concept complete with gimmicks and a title. Three minutes of a green dot can do wonders.
@@lostplugwhen you meditate you only had to focus in one thing. In this case if a idea for a videogame comes to your mind you had to let it go and focus on the green dot if you want to meditate correctly
Thank goodness, I was afraid for a jumpscare. I focused on the numbers the whole time, and managed to pass the test, but GOSH IS IT UNCOMFY! It felt weird to just ignore everything, and now I have a purple circle floating around my vision.
As someone who really is a structured, predictable mom and teacher, focusing on the green dot was easy for me...what would be hard, is being asked to look away during that 3 minutes.
@@gletchbus It's actually science. Staring at a single color for a extended period of time causes the cones in our eyes responsible for detecting color to fatigue, which often causes the opposite of the color to appear in our eyes. Green's opposite is purple. So i was suffering because i was focusing on the dot TOO hard
2:19 Those dang dinosaurs! i was doing so good, too, but something about that unidentifiable shape in my peripheral snatched my focus away for a split second! It was cool to see the color in the scenes in the background fade away to black and white when focusing on the dot, but magically return when I shifted my focus to look at the meerkats
The 'distractions' kind of made it easy. Could see the things in my peripherals and think on them as I watched the circle. I feel like it'd be immensely harder with nothing but the circle.
A lot of other people also said this. I think the test would be more boring and kinda pointless lol without the background stuff, especially for a RUclips video. At the same time, the dinosaur got so many people that maybe it was necessary 😅
@@gletchbusi think you should make a long one where it's purely the circle for about 5 minutes and then there's just a quick random graphic that appears after a while and disappears after a while and the video continues as normal. that would be the true test
Even though i have very short attention span normally, I actually passed this pretty easily! Well, I basically focused on everything around the circle but without looking away, though. Still paid attention to the counter and the circle though!😅
Oh my god. So i now have a reddish hue burned into my retinas Thats nice Anyways, as a person with INTENSE ADHD, OH MY JESUS CHRIST THIS IS BRAIN BREAKING Kudos to you! You hit all my weak spots! You legitimately broke my brain! While taking this test i was simultaneously keeping track of what my brain was doing in response to this whole thing.

I genuinely had fun! I liked it, my eyes hated it, and i will be sending this to my friends!
It's kinda eerie that, if you stare at the orb without looking away, it progressively starts to morph into a strange, fog shade of purple. Then you realize it's just being burned into your eyes.
damn did u just make us watch your 180 sec video without us even realizing this has to be the best marketing strategy I've seen so far just put your ads in background in a creative way and bam!
I clicked on the video with the confidence that I’d get through it no problem… *The first bit of text that appeared in the top left corner when the screen went white got me* 😭
This was an amazing experience, not only did I not gaze away from the counting down green timer dot, but I could see everything unfold before my eyes through my peripheral vision, and it was simply beautiful. The random shapes at the start, the beach, the dinosaurs, nature, the expanding of colors... I smiled throughout the whole video. I might try the 10 minute vid one day, until then, keep making these, they're awesome! Oh and do a horror version, I'd definitely test my attention span with it.
What do u mean counting down? I literally only see the numbers for a brief moment when i pause the video and the pause icon pops up for a moment. Is this a problem? People keep saying i focused on the numbers i literally do not see the numbers just the big green circle
fact : the value of the video does in fact affect the audience's attention span i actually watched sharpwind's 45 minutes long blender tutorial and i managed to pass all of those because i know that it is in fact worth watching
Definitely! If someone actively searched for this video, they're more likely to pass. I see that RUclips is also recommending this video to others so that probably means they care less
Since you are the Emperor of the SEAE (South Eastern Antarctic Empire) I would like to take this chance and beg you to maintain justice in this new Empire. As you know, until recently all of Antarctica was known as the DRA (Democratic Republic of Antarctica) but on January 17th 2002 everything changed. It was election year and the current Prime Minister of the DRA (you) refused to surrender control of the country and commanded the AAF (Antarctic Armed Forces) to enforce a new rule in which you were Emperor of your new Antarctic Empire. Of course only about half of the AAF complied while the other half attempted a coup. A civil war insued after this between the Antarctic people who believd in democracy and the Antarctic people who believed in a new powerful empire. In the end the continent was split into two main parts: The north eastern regions (about a third of the overall continent size) remained the DRA and is still a democratic nation, and the rest of the continent the south east and a lot of the center (about two thirds of the continent) became the SEAE run by the emperor himself (you). The islands surrounding the main continent were divided into their own separatist states run by old military commanders who were no longer a part of the SEAE or the DRA. The DRA has become a crumbling third world country since 2005 when the civil war ended. The SEAE has become highly successful, economically rich and one of the main global superpowers. Just recently (earlier this year) you commanded your Empire to invade the DRA and conquer the continent. All I ask is that you PLEASE do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties. I would also ask that you listen to the opinions of everyone in your Empire, even the DRA supporters so that everyone can be satisfied. Thank you for reading this Im sure you will be a great emperor.🇦🇶
@@milesdockendorff Ofc Ofc, since the civil war ended, Antarctica has been very peaceful, Infact, we wish to purchase the Falklands and the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands from the UK, for Ocean resources
Me : "I look at the circle with one eye, and the distractions with the other eye, so i technically won and lost at the sane time" *MISSION FAILED SUCESSFULLY*
I managed to keep looking until my mind started distorting everything. When the water came the circle was looking like an octagon, at around 80 it started becoming grey, and when the circle stretched, it seemed to lose color again
Yea, when the circle became bigger that it was like two circles on top of each other. A bigger, brighter green one below and a smaller duller, more muted green one on top
1:02 I didn’t look away but my focus shifted from the green to the yellow I was just curious why the ocean would look orange until I realized it must’ve been a sunset. Very tempted to look at the sea btw

Consciously we are focusing at the green circle but subconsciously we are looking at everything happening and imaging them in our mind

I agree but people might get "bored" from this video to the point where their mind wants to jump around
This was actually surprisingly easy, unless noticing things with peripheral vision and recognising them counts as a loss.

Okay, ya caught me there

This does not measure attention span, but rather your control over reflexive eye movents
It is normal and good for your eyes to shift focus to something noticable. This is how you keep yourself safe from unexpected threats.

Same I looked at the instructions at the very start just before it turned white I gave up after
what text
I'm like 50% sure this is trynna hypnotize me
The ultimate way to get people to watch until the end.
The fact that nothing in the video could distract me, rather it was the silly notification popup in the right bottom of the screen that got me!!!!
this was fun! my eyes did start drifting as my vision doubled, but I caught myself and ultimately I made it the whole way.
it feels like i can memorize a whole book rn
I didn’t look away, not even once...but now I have a purple circle engraved into my eyeball lol
2:11 The dinosaur defeated me
Same bro
Same
Sameee
That was a dinosaur? I thought it was a plane lol, I was that focused
Damn same
Man thought my attention span was in the garbage but it was quite the opposite! I proved i can focus for 180 seconds!
That's great to hear! There is a 10 minute version if you'd like to try it as well :)
@@gletchbus oh boy then sign me up!
Haha let me know how you did
Its cause your brain actually makes an effort to make it through because you expect some sort of reward or a dopaminergic release
@@tilebreakers It's always interesting to hear the scientific reasons haha :)
This was an amazing experience, not only did I not gaze away from the counting down green timer dot, but I could see everything unfold before my eyes through my peripheral vision, and it was simply beautiful. The random shapes at the start, the beach, the dinosaurs, nature, the expanding of colors... I smiled throughout the whole video.
I might try the 10 minute vid one day, until then, keep making these, they're awesome!
Oh and do a horror version, I'd definitely test my attention span with it.
Thanks and that's cool! A horror version sounds interesting lol
@@gletchbus That's what I'm afraid of.
What do u mean counting down? I literally only see the numbers for a brief moment when i pause the video and the pause icon pops up for a moment. Is this a problem? People keep saying i focused on the numbers i literally do not see the numbers just the big green circle
@@jckipaprUh, yeah, there are 180 of them. You should take a colorblind test.
About 1 minute in I realised I was subconsciously breathing in time with the beeps. Still kept going, and I think I won!
Thanks for burning a big ass purple dot into my retinas
Hopefully it went away shortly after!
ow my eyes @@gletchbus
Honestly, this test was insane. Never again.
I’m putting it in my shows and movies now so I can watch it when I’m bored.
Good test! I saved it in a special playlist to watch it every week
Awesome thanks! :) There is also a harder 10 minute version if you'd like to try it!
@@gletchbus yeah why not
This taught me just how easy it is to ignore impulses if you have a marginally greater task at hand that would conflict
2:11 I think we all lost here lmao
bro popped outta nowhere
Agreed
Yep.
Definitely me
The thing is, i thought it will be a jumpscare
fact : the value of the video does in fact affect the audience's attention span
i actually watched sharpwind's 45 minutes long blender tutorial and i managed to pass all of those because i know that it is in fact worth watching
Definitely! If someone actively searched for this video, they're more likely to pass. I see that RUclips is also recommending this video to others so that probably means they care less
there is a purple circle in my vision now the colors behind it look absolutely beautiful 🤩🤩
Yes same! ~
and then there is a purple circle showing your accuracy
I looked away at 0:01 because my dad asked me something T-T
Since you are the Emperor of the SEAE (South Eastern Antarctic Empire) I would like to take this chance and beg you to maintain justice in this new Empire. As you know, until recently all of Antarctica was known as the DRA (Democratic Republic of Antarctica) but on January 17th 2002 everything changed. It was election year and the current Prime Minister of the DRA (you) refused to surrender control of the country and commanded the AAF (Antarctic Armed Forces) to enforce a new rule in which you were Emperor of your new Antarctic Empire. Of course only about half of the AAF complied while the other half attempted a coup. A civil war insued after this between the Antarctic people who believd in democracy and the Antarctic people who believed in a new powerful empire. In the end the continent was split into two main parts: The north eastern regions (about a third of the overall continent size) remained the DRA and is still a democratic nation, and the rest of the continent the south east and a lot of the center (about two thirds of the continent) became the SEAE run by the emperor himself (you). The islands surrounding the main continent were divided into their own separatist states run by old military commanders who were no longer a part of the SEAE or the DRA. The DRA has become a crumbling third world country since 2005 when the civil war ended. The SEAE has become highly successful, economically rich and one of the main global superpowers. Just recently (earlier this year) you commanded your Empire to invade the DRA and conquer the continent. All I ask is that you PLEASE do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties. I would also ask that you listen to the opinions of everyone in your Empire, even the DRA supporters so that everyone can be satisfied. Thank you for reading this Im sure you will be a great emperor.🇦🇶
@@milesdockendorff Ofc Ofc, since the civil war ended, Antarctica has been very peaceful, Infact, we wish to purchase the Falklands and the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands from the UK, for Ocean resources
this was the most entertaining thing in my entire life, thank you
this teaches us if keep your focus only on one particular thing you will miss other wonders happening around
i lost at 6 seconds (2:59) because of a discord notification 😭😭
I've never struggled so much in my life
Were you able to pass?
in trying (and failing) to complete this test I got side tracked from my actual goal. this is great
The damn dinosaurs were to much for me
The dinosaur got me 😂
I didnt look out once but those dinosaurs felt like a virtual tickle from the corner of my eye
Virtual tickle 😂😂
Anybody else see the purple circle when the video was over?
Haha only for a little bit
the afterimage effect
Yea i did see
👍
I saw it for a solid 3-4 seconds before it went away fully, it was there for a while
I lost immediately. I’m not joking. ADHD at its finest, this is like watching paint dry for me LOL.
It's okay thank you for trying
2:16 Oooh Dinosaur
Me : "I look at the circle with one eye, and the distractions with the other eye, so i technically won and lost at the sane time"
*MISSION FAILED SUCESSFULLY*
lol
I managed to keep looking until my mind started distorting everything.
When the water came the circle was looking like an octagon, at around 80 it started becoming grey, and when the circle stretched, it seemed to lose color again
Yea, when the circle became bigger that it was like two circles on top of each other. A bigger, brighter green one below and a smaller duller, more muted green one on top
Dang that's actually something I haven't seen anyone say before
I just counted with the timer, helped quite a bit with focusing.
That's definitely a good strategy!
Same
me too
Saaame
1:02 I didn’t look away but my focus shifted from the green to the yellow
I was just curious why the ocean would look orange until I realized it must’ve been a sunset. Very tempted to look at the sea btw
