Learning to Learn

A Dynamic New Seminar

You can learn:
Brain Wave Control
Speed Reading & Speed Memory

How can you benefit ?

Brain capacity, creativity and processing speed can definitely be improved, quite dramatically.

A new and exciting opportunity now exists to develop a whole new set of skills that will transform forever the way information is processed and skills are taught.

Reading speed increased from 250 w/m to 750 w/m
Learning speed is increased by 300% - any subject
Memory improved by 300% (i.e., language learning)
IQ increased 10% - 30%
Communication skills more powerful and efficient

The single most frequently heard comment on 1 month and 3 month follow-up sessions is how much stress has been reduced, both in business and home life.

The increased efficiency creates a relaxed state of confidence and creativity. Most people also report spontaneous improvements in their sports skills.

A new way now exists to develop a whole new set of skills that will transform forever the way information is processed and skills are taught.

The main reason so many professionals and executives are joining the Alphalearning courses is because they are being overloaded with printed materials.

How can you get the vital information you need from the vast piles of data crossing your desk?

You now have the opportunity to develop a whole new set of skills that will transform forever the way you process information.

Companies will routinely send a high priced executive in his 40's - 50's on a one to three week training course - expecting him to learn with reading, note taking and memory skills learned 30 years ago.

Would any company today expect a secretary to perform with a 30-year-old typewriter or copier?

The BOTTOM LINE for profitable use of personal skills is:

The STATE OF MIND of the person and how that state of mind is projected to other colleagues, suppliers and clients.

"Reading is the pinnacle of what humans can do."
"It is the most complex of human functions."

ALPHALEARNING INSTITUTE GRADUATES
SWEEP THE WORLD RECORDS IN SPEED READING

First place and 6 of the top 10 readers in the latest edition of the Book of Genius have been trained by the Alphalearning Institute.

The reading speeds of the top 10 ranged from 3,850 words/minute to 1,560 words/minute.

RESULTS OF THE LEARNING TO LEARN COURSE

Average Untrained Speed 250 Words/Minute
Average Alphalearning Graduate 750 Words/Minute
Increased efficiency Over 3 to 1

The same % savings and increase in efficiency is achieved in all types of reading: from news reports to business letters.

And, all graduates report increased comprehension, concentration and recall.

Three months after the course the average speed has increased another 25% - to over 1,000 words per minute - with no additional training.

According to a recent survey by the European Commission in Brussels the average senior executive costs over $200/hour, works 10 hours per day and spends 30% of that time or 3 hours per day reading.

An increase in reading efficiency of 3 to 1; therefore, saves 2 hours per day.

Average Daily Time Saved: 2 hours @ $200/hour = $400/day.

$8,000/month in total savings.

Improving reading and memory skills is the most cost effective training available for the business executive.

What is "Learning to Learn" ?

A step into the future to re-program the habits of the past.

School systems concentrate on imparting knowledge without giving time and attention to teach the actual skills required to learn the knowledge.

Pay attention! Listen carefully! Remember this! Relax! On and on with commands that seem to make sense. Yet the question in our subconscious mind is, how?

How do I pay attention, listen, concentrate and remember; much less relax? These are the questions that concern every student. To an executive, the questions are of paramount importance.

It is by making the process efficient, relaxing and yes, even fun, that true transformation and growth is possible.

What you can achieve.

You can use the systems to learn anything - reading - typing - languages - sales - any new skill. And, old habits can be effortlessly transformed.

Brain capacity, creativity and processing speed can definitely be improved, quite dramatically.

You can easily triple your reading speed on all types of printed information with vastly improved concentration and recall. And, learn how to apply the learning skills to any physical - mental activity.

Your company can be transformed in efficiency, profitability and staff motivation when you introduce the techniques yourself into your own environment.

Corporate opinions.

ICL "ICL believes strongly in the development of staff. The entire management team, including the CEO, has been trained. The result has been positive. It is possible to train the brain with a view to optimal learning. We plan to go ahead with this radically different way of training."

Henkel "We are able to increase reading speed of managers considerably, often by 300% or more. This contributes to better time management, stress reduction, and an increased efficiency. This was not a short-term success. The seminars will be continued."

Why is learning important?

From a scientific point of view, more has been learned about learning in the past decade than in the past century.

Over 90% of the scientists who ever lived are still alive.

Over 90% of all knowledge about the human brain has been learned in the past 10 years.

Now is the time to capitalize on the momentum.

* " The newest important form of ownership: the possession of know-how, technology and skill." (Pope John Paul II)

* " The rate at which individuals and organizations learn may become the only sustainable competitive advantage."

(Kay Stata, Chairman, Analog Devices)

* "The knowledge that exists in an organization can be used to create differential advantage and if you don't keep your intellectual capital refreshed - it will erode." (Hugh Macdonald, ICL)

* "The implications of the technology that has been developed by the Alphalearning Institute are enormous. It is a major breakthrough in the evolution of human intelligence."

"I predict that early in the next century every school, college and university in the developed world will have access to the Alphalearning technology and that it will be a requirement of industry that its workforce use it."

(How To Pass Exams - D. O’Brien - World Memory Champion)

* "It’s important that society takes Alphalearning’s discoveries seriously, simply because they do indeed represent a new era of education. In an age of increasing stress, violence and ecological destruction, we could all use some wising up."

(National Geography Magazine)

* "The knowledge and competence of the Alphalearning Institute are of considerable importance to our society and need to be widely known. The Institute's view that the brain can be trained and developed like any other organ in the human body offers new perspectives. The implications that this new method of learning has for education are immense."

(States General, The Netherlands)

Managers know what their cash payroll is. The question is; what is the true replacement cost of the people, the value of the skills that would have to be replaced if they left tomorrow?

BRAINWAVE I

A new approach to brain training!

A new set of techniques to enhance learning, memory and balance!

The Alphalearning system was originally designed to reprogram one of the most deeply programmed skills of modern man, i.e., reading.

The belief was that if it worked on reading, it would work on anything.

It did work on reading and now is being used for a vast variety of skills; from rodeo riding to typing to language learning to management team performance.

Determining the precise brain wave frequencies and developing the training software and equipment required over 5 years, has involved over 3,000 executives and professionals and required an investment of over $5 million.

And now the result:

BRAINWAVE I is finally a reality !

The ultimate state of the art exercise and training equipment for the brain.

Brainwave I equipment is to the brain
what Nautilus and Nordic Ski are to the body.

BRAINWAVE I
Why & how it was developed.

As corporate executives became more and more overloaded with information in the late 1980’s, they realized that new and more efficient techniques of learning had to be mastered.

In co-operation with executives from over 100 international corporations, the Alphalearning Institute began in 1989 a research project to determine whether brainwave frequency training could increase learning efficiency.

The project was an unqualified success!

By testing and studying the brains of 450 high performing individuals, i.e., senior corporate, military and government managers - it was possible to discover the precise brain wave frequencies that were required to perform various mental and physical activities.

This was the first brain wave frequency study done on "super high performing" subjects as opposed to subjects with known brain disorders or "normal" subjects.

It became clear that top performers in various areas, i.e., reading, memory, creativity, persuasion, etc. used different brain wave frequencies.

All the high performers had the same frequency analysis on each function.

Finally it was proven which frequencies were the best for which function.

Then it was possible to program the computer to read a brain and tune it to the "perfect" frequency.

The problem for the 20 years from 1970 - 1990 was that mental exercise for 40 - 60 minutes a day was required to achieve a measurable effect on the brain. Then the exercises had to be continued forever to maintain the effect.

Now it is possible to achieve permanent results within a few days and to only exercise 1-2 minutes per day thereafter.

How does the system work?

To learn to use the brain frequencies properly requires the use of Brainwave I; a combination of an electroencephalograph (equipment that reads brainwave output) and an optical-acoustical trainer (equipment that controls brainwave input).

Brainwave I is a computer based electronic system that uses the brain’s output through the electroencephalograph to control the training input from the optical-acoustical stimulation glasses and earphones.

1. An EEG is recorded by attaching 4 small wires to the head with easily removable disposable tabs to view the brain’s activity on the computer screen. This recording is then evaluated to determine the weak and strong areas of the brain.

2. Lights and earphones are used to input certain frequencies to synchronize the 4 main sections of the brain. The precise program used is based on the results of the first EEG.

3. Biofeedback exercises are performed allowing the user to hear and see their own brain wave frequencies and their left-right balance. The brain is attracted to the sounds and images of perfect balance and therefore; balances and tunes itself.

4. A second EEG is recorded for comparison to the first EEG to measure the effect and results of the training session. This EEG is used to determine the next session settings for the light and sound training frequencies.

The above sequence requires approximately 20 minutes.

What are Alpha and Theta brain waves?

Alpha is a relaxed concentrated state of mind typical of a brain wave around 7 cycles/second (7 Hz). It allows total concentration and synchronization of the left and right brains. This is the proper state for reading, listening and other forms of information input.

Theta is an even more restful state of mind typical of a brain wave around 3 cycles/second (3 Hz). This state is the best for memorization, creativity and problem solving.

You can learn how to use these brain wave frequencies easily, effortlessly and efficiently.

Alphalearning graduates are capable of controlling their brainwaves in 4 major frequencies:

DELTA = 1-2 Hertz (cycles per second)
Deep physical relaxation, pain control & stress release.

THETA = 3-5 Hertz (cycles per second)
Memory, both memorization and recall and IQ growth.

ALPHA = 7-9 Hertz (cycles per second)
Learning, reading and listening.

BETA = 12-14 Hertz (cycles per second)
Decision making, logic and problem solving.

Using the appropriate wave frequency for each part of learning, i.e., listening versus memorizing is the key to accelerated learning and increased retention.

Extensive use of computerized optical-acoustical brainwave training equipment and electroencephalograph analysis enable each person to track their daily progress during the course.

You can now train your brain to achieve any desired frequency with Brainwave I.

BRAINWAVE I achieves within days what has previously been believed to require 10 to 20 years.

Additional Applications of Brainwave I and Alphalearning

Many additional applications of the training techniques developed for reading and learning have been discovered in the past few years.

Golf was the first, as many of the corporate executives used the concentration techniques on their golf game. Here are some quotes.

"Won first prize in golf club tournament week after course using the Alpha system. Ball in hole works!" Doug Ewing, Belgium

"Alpha really works for golf. When distressed, now have the ability to calm down and relax." Curt Selestam, Norway

"Before Alpha I couldn't keep my left arm straight on the back swing, now I can't bend it. Fantastic." Cris van Aeken, England

"Before the Alphalearning Institute course my handicap was 14.2. Now it is 7 and still dropping after 3 months of practice with the Alphalearning Institute techniques." Jan Verfaellie, Belgium

Shooting was the second, as many people enjoyed sport shooting. The results were so impressive that the Royal Marines in the UK and the USA Marines used the system for their international marksmanship competitions. The result was a 20% - 30% improvement in scores.

Astronaut training at NASA in Houston resulted in 1 — 2 levels of G-Force toleration (20% - 30% more), as the balanced brain was better able to survive the confused state in a spinning gyro field.

Richard Branson and Steve Fosset used Brainwave I to control their sleep patterns during their last around-the-world balloon attempt. The only Brainwave I ever to be lost went down off the Hawaiian coast.

F-15 and F-16 fighter pilots were able to increase their "dog-fight" learning and response training by having their brain balanced and learning the Alpha and Theta waves.

In one of the most recent and unique applications, two Brainwave I’s were used to determine how and why Monty Roberts ("The Horse Whisperer") was able to train horses so quickly.

Portable units operating on infrared transmission were connected to both Monty’s brain and a horse’s brain while he was in the training ring. The resulting EEGs proved that when Monty got the horse to respond to instructions, their brains were on the same wavelength.

To be serious about training the brain, BRAINWAVE I equipment is a requirement.
