The Neuro-Mechanism Of Concentration  Email this Article to a Friend
There is a system located in the brain stem that neuroscientists refer to as waking brain. This system processes the sensory information to the brain and selects out content that makes up conscious thought. We refer to this filtered focus as concentration. When we become aroused, the body mobilizes for action and there is an acceleration of activity in this part of the brain stem. The body mobilization or alarm is a "danger signal" produced by the higher brain. The process begins with information entering the nervous system through the filter in the brain stem. At these times of arousal, this filter system selects out information for conscious thought, and opens and sensitizes us to each area of sensory information by scanning the environment for impending danger. This scanning produces an overload of sensory information. Hearing and vision become more acute, the senses of touch, taste, and smell heighten, and it is difficult to think about one thing for very long. The overloaded circuitry of your nervous system has billions of neurons firing like an electrical storm. There are so many that a flood of thoughts becomes part of this firing process and one's ability to focus concentration diminishes. This wreaks havoc when we are faced with life's three footers. How can you learn to exercise more control over your concentration on and off the golf course? If you are going to stay focused on the course, you must learn to stay focused off the course. The following are step by step guidelines for you to practice. If you practice these steps as instructed, you gradually develop concentration techniques that will improve your performance both on and off the golf course.
