What Is Midbrain?

The Midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a region in the brainstem that is critical in producing orienting movements, species-specific behaviors, and the perception of pain. All this information is relayed to the brain to help our pre-frontal cortex make executive decisions.

 The Midbrain is divided into two parts: the sensory component, the tectum (meaning roof) and the motor structure, the tegmentum (meaning floor). The tectum receives a massive amount of sensory information from the eyes and ears. The optic nerves send information to the brain, which causes our head to turn to see the source of a sound. This is known as orienting movements. On the other end, the tegmentum largely focuses on how the body will move, function, and react with all the other bodily senses such as how a person learns to ride hold utensils or how touching boiling water gives a burning pain.

 It is important to make stronger connections between these two parts of the Midbrain to help a growing child’s brain development. By creating active nerves in Midbrain, it will link the left and right brain functions a better balance as well as help children use many higher levels of the brains functions more fluidly and easily.

Why Midbrain activation is important ?

Midbrain is the instrument that controls the left and the right brain and creates a pathway to the subconscious. Midbrain activation is the most intellectual and scientific development that opens a whole new horizon of hidden potential to a child. Once it is activated, the brain secretes hormones that induce the left and the right brain development in a balanced way. This is the most powerful way to develop the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and the Emotional Quotient (EQ) in a child – a best gift a parent could give!

The science behind this concept of Midbrain Activation is the technique of optimizing the function of our middle brain, which is the ‘bridge’ between the left and right brain. Having this ‘bridge’ activated allows for the retrieval of information between the left and the right brain, which leads to more efficiency in learning and absorbing information. It also brings out and strengthens characteristics such as creativity, memory, application skills, self-confidence, and the ability to concentrate.

Many of us have heard that we are either left-brained or right-brained and have capabilities and qualities that define how we learn and gain knowledge. Midbrain Activation allows the brain to function as a whole, rather than only utilizing one part of the brain. Most theories suggest that right-brain dominant individuals are guided by the more emotional, intuitive right hemisphere while those who are left-brain dominant respond in sequential, logical ways, guided by the left hemisphere of the brain. Therefore, individuals who are middle brain oriented can have strong qualities from both hemispheres. They can benefit from logic from the left and intuition from the right. This is the basic principle behind Midbrain Activation.

Mid brain Activation allows the middle brain act as a control panel for left and right hemispheres. This activates both parts of the brain and enhances the capacity and ability to learn.

Process of Midbrain Activation

In order to awaken this part of the brain, it is necessary to stimulate a hormonal discharge by sending a special vibration. For this scientific alpha-theta level music are played where apparently only children can receive these waves effectively. In general, theta and alpha waves belong to babies and children. Since these waves belong to the subconscious mind babies and children feel easier to learn something or receive and follow somebody else’s words. They also have unlimited imagination compared to adults.

During the mid-brain activation, a child learns how to enter the condition of meditative trans in order to be able to see with eyes closed. Archimedes himself invented a physical theory while he was relaxing himself, that is, when he immersed his body into the bath tub, where then the “AHA Phenomenon” rose automatically.

Even Einstein normally played a violin first to let his brain relax and thus able to invent new inventions in the field of Physics. So, it’s clear now, relaxed condition will take our brain toward alpha-theta waves where our brain performs miracles. This is what we called entering a genius condition.
