Using Visual Techniques to Shape Behavior

The podcast explores how psychologist Emily Balcherez used her knowledge of the visual system to explain how narrow focus can help achieve specific goals by narrowing attention toward a target. This technique was exemplified through Luke Aikins' skydiving feat of landing in a net by concentrating on a specific light.
