The present disclosure relates generally to altering the cognitive load in an individual to affect the information and task processing of that individual. Specifically introducing movement in the peripheral visual field of the individual reduces the cognitive load, thereby allowing the user to be more efficient at the primary task or information processing. Included is a system comprising a support that is shaped to be positioned in front of a user and in the field of vision of the user. A first display screen is attached to the support and positioned in the right eye peripheral vision, while a second display screen is attached to the support and positioned in the left eye peripheral vision. A computer readable memory medium is accessible by a processor and to instruct the first display screen and the second display screen to display a repetitive, non-biological movement on the screens.
