Brain Wave Study
Our brain is an electrochemical organ. When working, different regions of the brain emit different frequencies called brain waves. Research found that brain wave patterns are directly related to our behaviors, capabilities and performances. After decades of measuring brain wave patterns of natural leaders, artists, scientists and creative minds of all walks of life. The optimal pattern call "The Awakened Mind" was released in 1979 by British psycho physiologist and biophysicist C. Maxwell Cade.
Brain Wave Pattern of Peak Performance
When an "ah-ha" experience occurs, an association has been created between the problem requiring resolution and the mass of unconscious learning that is available to the subject. It is possible to train the brain to generate the "ah-ha" pattern.
The Super Learning State
The super learning state which occurs when alpha and theta waves dominate. The super learning state, which shares some characteristics with peak performance brain wave pattern, occurs when alpha and theta waves dominate. However, in the super learning state the beta wave is reduced. The result is a unique state where the brain can accept a much larger volume of information than is normally possible. This occurs because the normal conscious filter of the mind is by-passed; instead, the knowledge is absorbed directly and in an unfiltered state.
Image Abacus and Brain Wave Pattern
The goal of the image abacus training system is to provide the student with control over these brain wave patterns. This control will allow the student to access the desirable brain wave pattern for the learning which is required. Employing the core "speed hearing" technique and progressing through a carefully designed series of graduated calculation exercises, the student is trained to achieve the optimal state of mind for the task at hand.
The ABS Method
The power of the image abacus system consists of its manipulation of three key variables: difficulty of the task, task duration, and the speed at which the task must be accomplished. Manipulation of these variables requires sophisticated technology as does measurement of the student's response. Abacus Brain Study (ABS) is one of the very few institutions, and unique in North America, in its ability to provide the equipment, training program and instructional support to guide your child through this system. The outcome is that one goes far beyond the ability to perform fast calculation. The lasting effect is the student's acquisition of a tool that will support all future learning experiences.
Four State of the Brain
Types Of Brain Waves:
BETA: The most rapid is called a beta brain wave pattern, the pattern of normal waking consciousness. Beta is associated with concentration, arousal, alertness, and cognition. At its highest, most rapid levels, though, beta is associated with anxiety, disharmony, and unease.
ALPHA: Relaxed, brain wave activity slows into what is called an alpha brain wave pattern. Alpha patterns vary from deep alpha, a state of deep relaxation often referred to as the "twilight state" between sleep and waking, to the higher end of alpha which is a more focused yet still very relaxed state. Thus it is also referred to as the 'super-learning' state.
THETA: Slower still are theta waves. Theta is best known as the brain wave state of dreaming sleep, but it is also associated with a number of other beneficial states, including increased creativity, some kinds of "super learning," increased memory abilities, and what are called integrative experiences. "Ah-ha!" experiences, where you suddenly "get it," have an insight, are accompanied by bursts of theta waves in your brain.
DELTA: The slowest brain wave pattern is delta, the brain wave pattern of dreamless sleep.
