There is a specific area of the brain known as the mesencephalon, or more commonly referred to as the midbrain, that some modern educators (especially in Asia) believe can greatly enhance intelligence when fully activated.
The midbrain (highlighted).
We investigate the effectiveness of midbrain activation in our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ. An excerpt from the book follows:
In recent years, millions of children in India, China, Malaysia and Singapore have been enrolled in schools that specialize in activating their midbrains. Such radical learning institutions are reportedly churning out geniuses by the veritable truckload.
These schools claim to teach pupils how to learn rapidly and study almost effortlessly. This is apparently achieved by absorbing tremendous amounts of knowledge via their midbrains instead of the cerebral cortex where most humans think from.
“The purpose of education in the future will not be to create people with heads crammed full of knowledge, but to rear children who know how to efficiently use the whole brain. Rearing children with enormous ability, rich creativity, and the capability to make use of a high proportion of their brain should be the goal of child rearing.” –Professor Makoto Shichida
The Mumbai-based news media outlet DNA India ran an article on August 5, 2014 headed Make superkids through midbrain activation in Mumbai centres.
“Want your child to be a super kid?” the article begins. “Get him midbrain-activated. That’s what the latest child development programme in town is advising parents. At least 20 centres of the ‘midbrain activation programme’ have already come up across the country.”
Children in a midbrain activation class.
In line with most of the techniques and technologies mentioned throughout this book, the article states that “Midbrain-activation experts say the trick lies in the equal use of right and left sides of the brain.”
The theory behind creating geniuses in this fashion is about optimizing the middle brain, which connects the left and right brain. Building a bridge like this between both brains apparently allows easy exchanges of information, which in turn allows for smooth and efficient learning.
The end result of midbrain activation is said to be a brain that functions as a whole rather than having the usual division between left and right hemispheres (of the brain).
According to the DNA India article, “Midbrain activation experts claim they can enhance imagination power, intuition and super intelligence among children in the age bracket of 5-15 years.”
And it’s not just children whose midbrains can be activated via such methods. Adults are also apparently accessing untapped reservoirs of mental capabilities.
Abilities of those who have fully activated their midbrains are said to include photographic memory, performing complex mental calculations, mastering foreign languages in rapid time, speed-reading and even converting images to words, numbers and symbols in their minds.
Studies have consistently shown that around 80% of the world’s population have a more developed left brain.
So what are most of us missing out on by having an underutilized right brain?
A lot, according to the experts!
An article by Taiwanese magazine Sinorama, titled Waking the Right Brain –A new approach to pre-school education, is enlightening on this issue. It mentions that “the right brain is believed to possess extraordinary powers which have their origins in instincts which pre-date education and civilization.”
The article continues, “As early as 1975, brain specialists had discovered that the cerebral cortex, unique to primates, was responsible for intellectual activities such as language and reasoning. The limbic system lies below the cortex and pre-dates it. Sometimes called the mammalian brain, it is involved in the expression of emotions. On the lowest level lies the brain stem, sometimes called the reptilian brain. It controls basic bodily functions such as breathing and heartbeat.”
Many intelligence researchers believe these older, more primitive parts of the brain, especially in the midbrain section, are where genius abilities come from.
As in-depth studies on stimulating this part of the brain have yet to be conducted, it remains to be seen whether geniuses can be created via midbrain activation. Meanwhile, more and more students in Asia continue to swear by the method.
“The Midbrain can put us in the creative domain in no time at all.” –Dr. Baskaran Pillai
