Did you know midbrain activation? Able to read with eyes closed or perform daily activities without seeing. Magic? No. This is a new phenomenon in the world of education for children. The method? With intelligence training methods and stimulation or activation of the midbrain, which is to awaken the optimal ability of the midbrain in humans.
Reviewing Midbrain Activation
If you see a child who is able to read with their eyes closed, guesses the number on the bridge card without mistake, walks or rides a bicycle through obstacles but their eyes are closed, guesses someone's presence among many people without touching or hearing their voice, predicting something
There will be a few moments later, 'seeing' objects behind walls or in boxes, and a host of other extraordinary abilities, so you can be sure you're watching a demo of midbrain activation.
This magic-like phenomenon, which is a demonstration of midbrain activation, is now booming and becoming a topic of discussion everywhere. An astonishing and astonishing discovery in the world of children's education, initially developed in the land of the rising sun, Japan.
As a pioneer in practicing the theory of midbrain activation, Japan then transmitted the theory of midbrain activation to various countries in Asia, including Indonesia.
In Indonesia, there are many training courses that offer midbrain activation training. Although not as extensive as other educational trainings, midbrain activation training that offers amazing results is common.
Participants are generally children aged 5-15 years and held for two days. The form of training material provided is about motivation, brain exercise, games, relaxation and super memory. They and their parents will receive a training package to develop their midbrain potential.
The presence of parents functions more as partners in accelerating children in developing their extraordinary abilities. An ability that far exceeds that of children whose midbrains have not been activated.
Through midbrain activation training, these children can develop their right and left brain abilities. If the left brain is thick with logical or intellectual potential, and the right brain is creative or emotional, then strengthening the midbrain can stimulate the abilities of both sides of the brain at an optimal level.
Not only capable of performing various 'magic actions' and extraordinary, children who have activated their midbrain also have intelligence above average or genius.
Sounds impossible and unbelievable right? But that is what these trainings are trying to convince and prove. Through various formal or non-formal forums, the midbrain activation method is advertised as a phenomenal breakthrough in the world of children's education.
How is the explanation from the theoretical side? If previously humans only knew two hemispheres of the human brain (right and left brain) which were considered closely related to a person's level of intelligence (IQ) and emotional (EQ), the existence of the midbrain is a new discovery.
Then, what is the midbrain? Based on the understanding of several references, it is stated that anatomically the midbrain is the connecting part of the forebrain and hindbrain. It is a crossing point for electrical currents (electrons in the brain), neurochemicals from the brain stem to the cerebrum. If there is a disturbance in the midbrain, it can result in impaired consciousness in humans.
The midbrain is part of the limbic system and the hypothalamus. In general, the midbrain in humans is not active, so it needs to be activated. This activation process is known as midbrain activation.
The fact that the majority of humans only use no more than five to ten percent of their brain potential is the starting point for developing midbrain activation abilities. In essence, this ability aims to increase the potential of the human brain to the fullest.
Build intellectual and emotional intelligence at the highest level. Therefore, the explanation of the phenomenon of midbrain activation can be explained scientifically. Not built on prejudice or mere conjecture.
It is said that the midbrain activation process involves a lot of Alpha waves in the brain. If Beta waves are waves in the brain when humans are busy with activities (fully awake), then Alpha is the opposite. This wave will appear when humans are relaxed or creative activities. It often occurs when humans have just woken up from their sleep.
There are many stories of inventors who succeeded in creating something great when their brain activity was dominated by Alpha waves. For example, Archimedes who discovered Archimedes' law while he was taking a bath, James Watt the inventor of the steam engine who got a brilliant idea while casually strolling in the park.
Well, as well as the activation process of the midbrain. Through certain techniques, the activated midbrain will then emit alpha brain waves. These radar-like waves allow the owner to see objects with their eyes closed and detect objects up to 360 degrees.
Objects that are located behind, above and in all directions can be seen without using the eye to see them. Likewise, various other extraordinary abilities can be mastered if the midbrain has been activated.
Pros and Cons of Midbrain Activation
Scientific explanations of midbrain activation, it turns out to cause a variety of responses from the public. There are those who support and marvel at these revolutionary findings. This support group is generally practitioners who are involved in midbrain activation training.
There are also ordinary people who have seen demonstrations of children whose midbrains have been activated. This includes those whose children attended the training and experienced the results for themselves.
Their support and agreement that the activation of the right brain is true, can be seen from the various positive testimonies (statements). These testimonies must be found at every training event or demonstration that is shown to the public.
Likewise, stories of achievement success from children who have been activated, increase public confidence in the truth of the phenomenon of midbrain activation. This latest method of educating children is not a hoax, it is real.
However, not a few also doubt and even deny the truth of the midbrain activation process. They call this method the greatest boast of the century. Unmitigated, those who criticize come from educated circles. Especially experts in the field of human behavior (psychology) and child educators (teachers).
There is a book by Arif Virkill Yulian which completely displays a counter view of midbrain activation. The book is entitled Uncovering Midbrain Activation, The World's Greatest Invention or Indonesia's Biggest Fraud.
Arif clearly explained how the phenomenon of people in Indonesia flocking to include their children to take part in midbrain activation training. They hope their children's intelligence can increase drastically.
However, the existence of midbrain activation itself is highly dubious from a scientific point of view. Although in several trainings held, parents were convinced by scientific explanations, according to Arif it was actually not scientific.
You could say brain activation includes pseudo scientific (scientific false). Because until today, there has been no scientific publication that states that midbrain activation can conclusively increase human intelligence. What's more, being able to upgrade someone to be a genius.
Likewise, the view of a psychiatrist from Bali, Lely Setyawati Kurniawan, who stated that children who are activated by their midbrains actually experience a mental state of full awareness (awareness). This condition turns out to be not good if it continues. Can lead to various forms of symptoms (symptoms) mental disorders. Ranging from mild (anxiety / anxiety) to severe (paranoid / excessive fear).
This view that criticizes the existence of midbrain activation can be a useful insight for parents and educators of children. Is it true that midbrain activation is a revolutionary method in the world of children's education? Or on the contrary, is it a scam with the sole aim of making business profits? Caution must be the attitude that is put forward in addressing this phenomenon.
