Speed Hearing Calculation
The key to optimal learning capability
Unlock the brain’s best potential
Advance Technologies
Studies have shown that reading and listening programs using advanced computer based technology stimulate brain cell development and enhance 19 brain functions, improving the basis point of one's IQ by 5% to 25%.
Speed Hearing
Speed hearing research was begun by the US Army around 1956. Applying speed hearing as a training course for executives was pioneered by the Japanese in the late 1970's.
Our minds can be trained by overhelming the receptors. Neurologically this is called "use dependent plasticity". The most common experience of this concept for most people is highway driving. After driving at highway speeds for 60- 90 minutes we will find that it is difficult to drive at city speeds. It is because once our brain get used to have information coming at a fast pace, it is actually hard to slow down! ABG applies the same principle by grooming students to listen and comprehend rapid voice interactions.
A Brain Exercise Like No Other
By combining Image Abacus and Speed Listening training, we have created a brain exercise like no other. The intensive comprehension and calculation required to complete the task, cause most of the actual information processing to be off-loaded to the right brain for faster processing. With regular training, students will gain unrestricted access to the right hemisphere of their brains. This is like once we learned how to ride a bike, we instinctively were able to balance ourselves on it without having to think about it every time.
High Volume and Higher Speed Communication Between Brain Cells
As we all know, regular weight training will produce more dense muscles for our body. The same is true for our brain. Regular Speed Listening training produces a much denser synapses network (a neural pathway with much more connection points between cells), capable of higher volume and higher speed of communication between brain cells.
Putting It All Together
To make this training possible, we employ custom developed computer aided training systems and speech synthesizers to accurately control the speed (words per minute), duration and level of difficulty of each exercise. These training programs were designed basically on our own "Brain Wave Optimization" EEG biofeedback research. The result is an achievable, progressive program that will benefit each and every one of our students. We guarantee that each student will show improvements in focus and concentration, faster and more intuitive thinking, better memory and of course, incredible or superior math capability.

Biofeedback: The "Little" Breakthrough In Learning
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
Combines the following all at the same time: - the intuitive, empathic radar of the delta waves - the creative inspiration, personal insight, and spiritual awareness of theta waves - the bridging capacity of relaxed, detached, awareness of Alpha waves - the external attention and ability to consciously process thought of Beta waves. This brainwave pattern can be found during "peak experience" or "peak performance", regardless of the content or intention, in all forms of task requiring creativity and high performance. It is not "which" frequency, but "how the frequencies combine", that determines our optimum states of consciousness.
The "Ah-Ha" Wave Pattern The “Ah-ha!" experience -- where we suddenly "get it," gain an insight, or when a great idea suddenly comes to us -- produces a brain wave pattern very similar to the "awakened mind" pattern. This pattern is characterized by the bursts of beta and alpha waves.
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.
The goal of the mental abacus training is to provide students with control over these brain wave patterns. This control will allow students 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, students are trained to achieve the optimal state of mind for the task at hand.
Image Abacus and Brain Wave Pattern
The Abacus Brain Gym’s Method
The power of the mental 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 students’ response. Abacus Brain Gym 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.
