Midbrain activation is a new hot topic now. When we were children we read about superheroes that can see through wall. We saw in movies that a kung-fu master can fight with his eyes blinfolded. Midbrain (mesencephalon) is one part of brain that has a controlling function. Midbrain is act like a brain manager to manage the function of right and left brain. When we were a baby, our midbrain functioned well.
After 5 years old, midbrain of most of us becomes less active. Midbrain looses its capability to manage the left and right brain. The manager becomes lazy now. What happened with the left and right brain? Because this brain is the bigger brain, they still functioned well, but without the manager. These two big brains compete each other. Depend of the circumstances and character, one of the brains became a winner, and the other became looser.
If the left brain is the winner, left brain is used to solve most of the problem. We call this child left brain dominant. Children with left brain dominant usually good at math, physic, or other science and engineering studies. These children is considered high IQ
If the right brain is the winner, right brain is used to solve most of the problem. We call this child right brain dominant. They are usually good at art, performance, with lots of friends around. These children is considered high EQ
After midbrain activation, the midbrain is activated, it will regain control. Problems will be solved by left and right brain together. The whole brain will gain better performance. Children will enjoy developing all their brain potential. Without midbrain activation we can train left brain and right brain together. Without the manager, the battle continues. Right brain will compete against left brain. If not competing they will work as 2 different entities. There are only a poor coordination between left and right brain.
Improved concentration is one of benefit children gain after midbrain activation. When the child did something, there is more brain cell (neurons) from both left brain and right brain that involved. This will surely improve the child's concentration. Surprising enough, children with active midbrain can see with their eyes blindfolded. Blindfold Reading Method is a learning method to train the midbrain. This is a bonus for the child. Not much daily activity can be done with our eyes blindfolded. But this bonus is precious especially for them that loose their sight.
