In devising ways of communicating with the right hemisphere ,RW Sperry won the 1981 Nobel Prize for medicine , by showing the right hemisphere is " indeed a conscious system in its own right, perceiving, thinking, remembering & reasoning, " —Roger Wolcott Sperry CALTEC

CLIENT‘Our journey begins with a 25 year old patent clerk who against all the odds wins a Nobel prize , it is baffling how this is possible , how something as prosaic as memory holds the key to how a c’ student , a school dropout can turn around so completely that he wins a Nobel prize . .A self confessed visual thinker with strong visualisation capabilities and memory , a young Einstein had poor auditory focus and memory .A form of rote learning , photographic learning of text can mask a problem but there will be no comprehension , no connections , no creative or conceptual breakthroughs ‘In the article is Google making us stupid Nicholas Carr asks the question our the skills associated with deep reading being eroded , are we losing the ability to connect , to concentrate , to comprehend and if we lose these skills are we any losing the ability to engage in productive creative , critical and conceptual thinking .The ability to concentrate to hold information in working memory facilitates connections which leads to comprehension .Which in turn facilitates critical thinking and feedback loops , creative and conceptual breakthroughs follow . Memory is a key building block of intelligence . What we do is to improve memory. We train it . You will not find a credible study or practitioner that says memory can not be trained . Rather like Marconi this is not a new idea—numerous investigators had been exploring techniques for over 50 years, but none had proven successful, for anything except memorizing lists. Marconi did not discover any new and revolutionary principle , but rather he assembled and improved a number of components, unified and adapted them to his system . PUBLISHERUser generated content is very much the model for the internet in the 21 Century , but how much better would this content be if it was developed by the experts , those who do it for a living , day in , day out . We have proof of concept and we can train you . Our innovation is set against the background of a minority report which places 30 % of the population in the visual spatial thinker spectrum , yes that is 30 % of the population , under achieving , under performing , failing to reach potential . Hard work , effort and enterprise , not only should be rewarded but needs to be rewarded .It's a bumper sticker but it is true , it's to the benefit of everyone , if all the talents not just some of the talents are classified recognized and developed . This idea is one of the big ideas in education and training at the moment , it's a gathering storm but the problem with personalized learning has always been twofold no credible path ahead and just one voice . If you speak to the 30% you ignore the 70% . The practical solution is to preview materials online and now the technology has caught up .Our LMS , allows a database of materials to be developed online , accessible anytime , anywhere , course material that speak to the minority report .A minority report that produced some of our great scientific minds Einstein , Darwin , Faraday , our great innovators and entrepreneurs Edison , Marconi the Wright Brothers iconic Leaders Churchill and JFK . They all succeeded because they were insulated from the system by family and friends not nurtured by it . HOW TOOn December 17, 1903, when Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted just 12 seconds and covered just 120 feet. Once proof of concept was established ,the early adopters the early visionaries also doubled as early pioneers . |
