Focus enhancement is the experience of an increased ability to selectively concentrate on an aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of stimulant and nootropic compounds, such as amphetamine, methylphenidate, modafinil, and caffeine
