      Walau I read the website, it’s only instead of their eyes, they use their mid-brain waves to sense things in front of them… where got prediction of future and having xray eyes mentioned… I think more like how dolphines can see underwater where no light can emitt through…

        Actually, it's very obvious that why do they not want parents to sit in their classroom, imagine this, 40 children attended the lesson, let's say in the minimum 1 parent sit with their own child 40x2 = 80 people, let's say 5children is taken care by a coach = 8 coaches. so instead of 48 in a small room, there's 88 in a small room, not to mentioned from 8am to 5pm, parents will start talking, taking naps etc in the same room, the noise caused will be wonderful lol, how is your child going to be benefit from it, instead of listening to the music that is suppose to activate their mid-brains they will be listening to some other noises lol. Then parents will complain they pay for something that do not work!! hehe


        And for those concerned parents, u can actually talk to those coaches, they are normal ppls like u and me, and they will be glad to share what happens in the room.

        Some will ask why not get a bigger room, but then this is why they are taking in max of 40 students in a class cause they need a certain size of the room for the right volume of the music to be played. and after experimenting with different scenario, they find that 30-40 students in a certain size classroom works perfectly.

        Parents do also concern children seem tired after the training. Of course la, your children playing for 2 days will not get tired meh? For this i think u can try in your own homes.

        Anyone interested to know can PM me 🙂

          Had given chance for them to clear the air here but still not able to. More skeptical now.


          To those who mentioned hypnotism, no, hypnotism does not requires one to sleep. In fact, not to sleep. Definitely not hypnotism. Hypnotism does not work in this way. When you are hypnotized, you are fully aware of the surroundings. You know very well what is happening around you, the environment and ppl talking, everything. But in this case, the children had no idea what happened as they were soundly asleep.

              Maybe they should conduct the session in an enclosed (sound proof) place that parents can see. The whole idea is the music/sound that activate the mid-brain. Why not conduct at a place like "fish tank" where parents can see the process? It would be more convincing.

                Personally, I do not think that such a thing as 'ESP' or 'reading with a blindfold' is scientifically possible. There is no scientific proof that such a phenomenon is possible, neither is there any confirmed recording of such an 'event' taking place in the world. Most of these 'events', 'sightings', or 'readings' are cases of exaggerated news, misdirections, or evidence that has turned around in the favour of 'ESP', as a result of gossip among the unaware communities.


                Let us take the 'blindfold reading' as an example. It is a very basic scientific concept that a blindfold is opaque, hence no light can pass through it to let us see what is in front of us. There is no evidence that any human living (or has lived) in this world can 'sense' the text with their 'sixth sense'. Some people make it even more far-fetched; they claim that an 'alpha wave' or even a 'beta wave' is letting the children see the text with their mind.

                It should now be appropriate to touch on the scientific concepts of an 'alpha' or 'beta wave', and related 'waves'.
                Scientists use 4 different 'waves' to describe different levels of consciousness of the mind; (going from the most awake to the least) they are the Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. Your brain waves operate at the Beta wave when they mainly oscillate between 14 to 30 cycles per second. This is when you are fully awake/alert (like I am, when typing this reply right now).

                As your mind relaxes and somehow 'disconnects' from the external material world - like when you're daydreaming, meditating, or watching a calm movie - you enter a more 'focused' or 'expanded' state of awareness where brain wave patterns are mainly composed of Alpha brain waves oscillating at between 8 and 13 cycles per second. When relaxing even more, your mind enters a region that correlates with a large relative quantity of brain wave patterns of 4 to 7 cycles per second. This is the Theta zone of the mind.

                The Beta level corresponds to a focus of concentration by the mind upon the outside or perceptually separated world, and the Alpha and Theta levels correspond to a more internally focused, self-reflective state (as mentioned, such as those of meditation).

                Each human being experiences the Theta level for a fleeting moment every night before the mind dips down from the Beta level of awareness (awake state), to the Delta state (brain waves of less than 4 cycles per second, or deep sleep), and passes rapidly through the Alpha and Theta states to enter the profound sleep level, where consciousness of ourselves is totally lost, and where even dreams do not occur. This is because when dreaming, a sense of self is necessary and the mind has to go back up to the Theta or Alpha state.

                Delta is the level of the mysterious universal mind. It is the level at which the differentiated self (ego) expands to become undifferentiated and operates outside of the confines of linear time/space. This is also the state in which many 'psychics' claim to operate at. However, this is also the state at which the mind goes through a 'deep sleep' state, and therefore (without the presence of REM sleep; which I'll leave you to read about on your own), no recollections/memories happen at that stage, and therefore scientists cannot really get a good 'sample' of this stage in the average human.

                To understand more about the sleep cycle, you can go to this link: http://psychology.about.com/od/statesofconsciousness/a/SleepStages.htm (because this post is really getting long). Hopefully, after this post (and that website), you will have a better understanding on this so-called 'blindfold reading' and why it is scientifically not possible (at least in the region of sleep, or even 'hypnotism').

                OMG this post is really long, now that I look back at it :oops: :!:

                  I am new to this forum but since my son turns 4, I am keen to learn about school and other forms of learning to help my son improves his learning ability and came across this discussion.


                  My friends send their daughters to a 2-day workshop on right brain training and sounds like what you are discussing. Only 1 child out of those other friends children can read blind-fold. Not sure what happen in the class, but all reports from friends did not see significant improvement on study and results including the child who can read blind-fold. Thus, I have decided not to send my son.

                  Came across another brain training, but this time not about mid-brain, more so on the whole brain fitness. Have research and data to back-up so send my son for an assessment and was able to understand his strengths and weakness. Have decided to try their program as it sounds more logic, with data to back-up and is customised to individual child needs.

                      When I first head of the technique, I was equally as skeptical as everyone else in the forum. Honestly, go for the preview and be educated. see with your own eyes what this technique can do for your children… call or sms me @ 96993941 (Irene) for preview dates.

                        Hi, how abt we hear some feedback from those parents whose child attended the Genius Mind Academy (GMC) say more than a year ago (this is to see if the effect lasts…)? What are the positive and negatives changes you have seen in your child since? It is supposed to last a lifetime. Are you glad that you have sent your child to attend this midbrain activation workshop?


                        Also, what happens when your child is not blindfolded, most of the time?
