Methods and apparatus to direct attention in a video content display are disclosed. An example method to direct attention in a video content display, includes determining a location in a display interface to which attention is to be directed based on video content to be displayed, and modulating with a stimulus, at a frequency such that the stimulus is detectable by human peripheral vision and is less detectable by human foveal vision, a portion of the video content displayed in the location with a stimulus to direct attention to the location.
