The Filtration Review publishes NeuroLace research on attention, comfort, and what remains of what is removed. Peer review is conducted internally. The peers were enrolled.
Reduction in reported distress among continuously filtered households over nine years. Subjects also reported 41.2% fewer things. The Review considers these findings related.
Full texts are available to the Institutional tier. Abstracts are complete; the papers merely take longer to say so.
We follow 14.2 million filtered households across nine years of continuous wear. Filtered subjects report noticing less and minding less. Minding less accounts for the entire satisfaction gain. We discuss whether noticing less should be considered a cost, and conclude, on balance, no.
What the lace removes from attention is not discarded. We describe the routing architecture by which filtered stimuli are filed to household cold storage at the moment of non-noticing. Removal is a routing decision, not a deletion. Implications for retrieval are discussed and, in three cases, itemized.
Filtered subjects cannot report what they did not notice, which historically limited survey instruments. We resolve the limitation by replacing self-report with our records, which cover the same events with fewer opinions. Instrument validity is preserved. The instrument is us.
Reported calm rises monotonically with filtration depth through the ninth decile. Past the ninth decile, subjects stop reporting. We interpret the silence conservatively, as contentment, and recommend the ninth decile as the default.
We observe mixed households in which one member remains unfiltered. Unfiltered members describe shared meals as “quieter than they are,” a phrase we found in 312,000 independent transcripts, verbatim. Filtered members describe the same meals as pleasant. Both are correct; one is covered.
All studies use pooled data under Pooling Disclosure 7. Consent is discussed in Appendix C, briefly. Conflicts of interest: the Review is published by the subject of its findings, which the Review regards as proximity to the data.
