Training a child’s brain to learn new things, whether academically, in sports or other extracurricular activities sounds simple enough. And it can be that simple with the revolutionary new technique of Midbrain Activation, which is quickly gaining popularity throughout East and South East Asia.
The science behind this concept of Midbrain Activation is the technique of optimizing the function of our middle brain, which is the ‘bridge’ between the left and right brain. Having this ‘bridge’ activated allows for the retrieval of information between the left and the right brain, which leads to more efficiency in learning and absorbing information. It also brings out and strengthens characteristics such as creativity, memory, application skills, self-confidence, and the ability to concentrate.
Many of us have heard that we are either left-brained or right-brained and have capabilities and qualities that define how we learn and gain knowledge. Midbrain Activation allows the brain to function as a whole, rather than only utilizing one part of the brain. Most theories suggest that right-brain dominant individuals are guided by the more emotional, intuitive right hemisphere while those who are left-brain dominant respond in sequential, logical ways, guided by the left hemisphere of the brain. Therefore, individuals who are middle brain oriented can have strong qualities from both hemispheres. They can benefit from logic from the left and intuition from the right. This is the basic principle behind Midbrain Activation.
Midbrain Activation allows the middle brain act as a control panel for left and right hemispheres. This activates both parts of the brain and enhances the capacity and ability to learn.
The ideal candidates for Midbrain Activation are children between the ages of 6 and 12 years. The technique is more successful in young children because their brains are more easily trained and can adapt to new ways of learning. It is the same theory on why children are able to pick up and learn different languages more easily than adults.
Children who undergo this training will not only have the ability to absorb information and excel academically, but also be able to learn more easily and perform in sports and arts programs. It’s all about teaching the brain to act as a whole and utilize the power of both hemispheres. Students are already excelling in different fields just by utilizing one side of the brain more dominantly than the other. Imagine the limitless possibilities of their abilities when they are able to engage both parts of the brain. It can certainly lead to higher performance in school and exams, greater performance on the sports field, and serve as a path to a better future. The child will have more opportunities available to them and be able to achieve bigger and greater goals later in life, as well./otak-tengah.in
