2. 9. The decade of the brain
We’ve learned more about the brain in the past 10 years than in all the rest of recorded history: and it’s nearly all good!

3. Your brain is like a sleeping giant
Tony Buzan

4. The greatest unexplored territory in the world is the
the space between our ears

5. rest of recorded history.
We have learned more
about the brain in the
last 10 years than in the
rest of recorded history.
And not one of us is using even a small fraction
of its potential.

Our emotional brain.

Very closely linked with memory.

10. Our four brains in one 3. The two-sided cerebral cortex
Our thinking, communicating brain
Left side
deals with
Words
Logic
Sequence
Numbers
Math
Right side
deals with
Rhyme
Rhythm
Music
Pictures
Imagination
Linked by the corpus callosum like a great
telephone exchange

11. Using both sides is best
You learn much faster when you use both sides of the brain together.

You learn much faster when you use both sides of the brain together.
That’s why you can remember the words of a song when you hear the tune: the left hemisphere recalls the words and the right hemisphere links those to the tune.

19. Midbrain Activation A Program to help your child become a Genius
Here are two pictures of the brain :
On the left hand you see the brain from a side
On the right you see the brain if you were to look at it from above

20. Specific Sulci/Fissures:
Central Sulcus
Longitudinal Fissure
Sylvian/Lateral Fissure
Transverse Fissure

21. The two sides of the brain
The picture on the right shows the two halves of the brain.
They look exactly alike but
They are VERY different in action:

23. As you can see there a lot of differences but we shall only look at the first few:

25. Here is a short summary of the differences between the two brains:

27. How do we know that they are different ?:

28. :
We know it due to the work of one man who spent 40 years studying more than 10,000 children and wrote over 250 books and created 450 centres in Japan to carry out his work

29. His belief is that if one child can do something, all have the potential to do it.
Therefore, his message is a universal one.
He does not believe that Japanese children are somehow different from children the world around. . ?

30. Dr. Shichida uses the term “right brain education” to describe his curriculum methods and to distinguish it as being different and distinct from the traditional education in Japan which utilizes the more linear left brain approach to learning ?

31. High-Speed, High-Capacity Memory
Writing about the Shichida method in one of his books, he says the right brain has a "high-speed, high-capacity memory" mechanism.
The left brain turns data from the external world into language. This requires "sequential processing," wherein data is processed one bit at a time.
This is a time-consuming activity.

32. High-Speed, High-Capacity Memory
The right brain processes information very quickly as images.
The left brain and right brain also differ in memory capacity and the period of time information can be stored.
According to Shichida, the left brain is continuously dumping old information to make room for new.
The right brain memory is never deleted. He says therefore, "photographic memory" is a right brain function. We can look at the left brain like computer RAM and the right brain as an unlimited capacity hard drive that can't be erased.
