Lilac Chaser Fixation and Peripheral Awareness

Hold steady at the center and notice change around it.

Lilac Chaser is different from the moving-target drills. Instead of following an object, you keep your eyes on the center cross while the outer ring changes.

This mode works best when you resist the urge to chase the disappearing gap. Keep your gaze centered, stay relaxed, and let the effect happen on its own.

Use Lilac Chaser for a short fixation drill, a perceptual reset, or a quick change of pace between more active modes.

How to use Lilac Chaser

  1. Look only at the black cross in the middle.
  2. Do not follow the balls with your eyes.
  3. Let the disappearing gap move around the fixed circle. With steady focus, the colored balls may fade and the missing spot can look like a moving green afterimage.

Lilac Chaser trains fixation, peripheral awareness, visual attention, and noticing change away from the point you are looking at. For gaming, it can be a short warmup for catching movement near the edge of your vision without constantly shifting your gaze.
