Description

  The present invention relates to a method and a recording medium for activating and training the human brain using vision and auditory sense, and in particular, for visual input based on display of characters, words and pictures, and information input environment from auditory to brain by reading a sentence. A method and recording medium for activating and training the brain.

Technical background

In general, in the brains of infants and growing humans, brain cells actively divide, the functions of each part develop, and unnecessary parts degenerate. In order to promote the division of brain cells and the development of functions of various parts, various learning tools and games such as various infant education and so-called genius education have been devised.
On the other hand, the death of brain cells in the elderly's brain progresses and its activity deteriorates. In order to delay the death of brain cells in the elderly's brain and prevent their activity from deteriorating, brain age games such as arranging numbers on a personal computer screen have recently been played.
Furthermore, for ordinary people and full-time athletes, the ability to react visually is important in ball competitions such as baseball, tennis, basketball, and volleyball. Yes.

Well, typical brain activity is normal learning. For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-215868, when writing a character by hand using vision, the sound and rhythm peculiar to that character coming out of a writing instrument are amplified and the ear is amplified. Listening (use of hearing) The character concerned is memorized.
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-242773, words are read out as a melody (utilization of hearing), and spelling vacancy (visual utilization) displayed on a sheet is filled or hidden by hand, and the word is stored as if it were a game. By doing so, you can easily understand the relationship between the characters that can be tackled from young children and the pronunciation of words and spelling rules.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-91277, an important part is selected for audio data for auditory use, and the low-frequency part or high-frequency part is emphasized for the part using an acoustic filter means (brain). Stimulation of the frequency sensing site of).
Also, in language lectures on TV broadcasts and videotapes, in English word learning, the “apple” spelling “apple” is displayed on the screen, and the voice of the person who pronounces “Apple” and the movement of the mouth are projected on the screen, Can be heard from the speaker. The learner sends the “apple” “apple” from the eyes to the visual cortex of the brain, from the ears to the auditory cortex, and sends information from the visual cortex and the auditory cortex to the temporal association cortex. Then, the spelling “apple” of the English word “apple” and its pronunciation are memorized and learned.

Scientific researchers, university professors, and review authors often write research papers in a completely different field from classical music while listening to classical music.

In various types of early childhood education and so-called genius education, a number of early childhood education theories and methods are published and sold in books and playground equipment and are implemented at home. These were trial and error by researchers and creators, and did not stimulate and activate brain tissue and functional fields that are currently being elucidated.
In addition, since various games for elderly people are simple exercises that move the limbs together with beanbags and singing in early childhood, it was regrettable for the family to show the return of the elderly to the infant.
Also, for adolescents, middle-aged, middle-aged, housewives, and working-age people whose brain cells are expected to be active day and night, there were no known methods for affordable brain activation, light brain movements, or intelligence games.

In TV learning classrooms and various learning classrooms using Pankon, the same content is input to the brain from hearing and vision, and both are integrated and unified to achieve a single purpose. It was not something that worked. Those that sound the same sentence with emphasis on bass or treble are stimulating the frequency sensing part of the brain, but remain within the same auditory area and are not sufficient for brain stimulation.
Scientific researchers' classics and papers stimulate different brain functions at the same time, but classical music doesn't ask for any answer through hearing, so it remains a passive stimulus. In general, it was not standardized for early childhood education, the elderly, and ordinary people.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. In the first invention, the learning file is read from the recording medium by the information processing apparatus, separated into video data and audio data, and the video data is reproduced by the video reproducing unit. Then, it is displayed as an image on an electronic display screen, audio data is reproduced by an audio reproducing unit and output as audio by an acoustic device, and the viewer visually sees the image through the eye and is in the cerebral visual area behind the cerebrum. At the same time, in the method of sending the sound through the ear to the auditory cortex in the left and right sides of the cerebrum by hearing, stimulating and activating the brain, the video data of the learning file is The audio data is composed of one content that requests a judgment or opinion, and the audio data is composed of another content that requests attention, judgment or opinion, and the video is The visual cortex stimulates the visual cortex, and the occipital cortex area behind the cerebrum analyzes and integrates this information to pay attention to, judge, and recognize the object in the video, and at the same time Stimulates the auditory cortex by the auditory sense, and the right and left temporal association areas of the cerebrum analyze and integrate this information to pay attention to, judge, and recognize the target speech in the speech. Activate and train.

In the second invention, the learning file is read from the recording medium by the information processing apparatus and separated into video data and audio data, the video data is reproduced by the video reproduction unit, displayed as video on the electronic display screen, and the audio data is Reproduced by a sound reproduction unit and output as sound by a sound device, and the viewer views the video through the eyes and visually into the visual cortex behind the cerebrum, and at the same time the sound is heard through the ears and left and right sides of the cerebrum. In the method of activating and training the brain by sending stimuli by sending them to the respective auditory cortex in the brain, the video data of the learning file is composed of one content that requests attention, judgment or opinion from the viewer, The audio data is composed of other contents that request attention, judgment, or opinion, and the image stimulates the visual cortex by the vision and The occipital association 18 analyzes and integrates this information to pay attention to, judge, and recognize the object in the video,
At the same time, the sound stimulates the auditory cortex by the auditory sense, and the left and right temporal cortical areas of the cerebrum analyze and integrate this information to pay attention to, judge, and recognize the target sound in the sound. However, when the video data includes content requesting attention, judgment or opinion from the viewer, or when the audio data includes content requesting attention, determination or opinion from the viewer. The viewer recognizes the operation of the input device, confirms the proper operation site, creates a procedure to move the finger of the hand in the motor association area in the brain, the motor cortex issues a motion command to the spinal cord, the spinal cord By instructing the user to operate the part, the viewer reacts to information from the visual cortex and activates and trains the brain.

  In the third invention, when mounted on the information processing apparatus, the video data reproduced by the video reproduction unit and displayed as an image on the electronic display screen, and the audio data reproduced by the audio reproduction unit and output as sound by the sound device, A learning medium comprising a learning file comprising: the video data is visually sent to a viewer through the eye to the visual cortex behind the cerebrum to give a stimulus to the viewer The audio data is sent to the auditory cortex in the left and right sides of the cerebrum by the auditory sense through the ears to give the stimulus and give the attention and judgment. It is composed of other contents that request an opinion, and recorded so that these data can be read out in parallel.

According to the present invention, the brain tissue and functional fields currently being elucidated are stimulated for each field, and the human brain is activated. In addition, since the visual and auditory cortex are simultaneously stimulated in parallel, brains for affordable brain activation are expected for adolescents, middle-aged, middle-aged, housewives, and working-age people whose brain cells are expected to work day and night. It becomes an exercise and intelligence game.
Furthermore, it is desirable from the viewpoint of the elderly and also from the perspective of preventing elderly people from aging their brains, and because they use televisions and personal computers in their homes, they are generally suitable for early childhood education, the elderly, and ordinary people at low costs. It will be standardized.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, the structure and function known in cerebral physiology and anatomy will be described with reference to the human brain that accepts the present invention.
Recent advances in brain medicine, biological brain scanners, electroencephalogram research and biochemistry, and biochemistry are revealing the human brain structure, various brain functions, and functional parts (distribution positions in the cerebrum).
According to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the human brain 10 is composed of a substantially symmetric cerebrum of a left brain 11 and a right brain 12, and a cerebellum 13 below and behind the cerebrum. Although the entire brain is covered by the cerebral cortex 14, there are auditory cortex 16 below the (ear) of the left and right temporal association area 15, respectively, and left and right visual cortex 19 below the posterior occipital association 18 (above the cerebellum 13). There is each.

The cerebral cortex of the sphere is composed of the frontal lobe 20, the parietal lobe 21, the occipital lobe 22 and the temporal lobe 23 in the spatial domain distribution as viewed from the side.
The auditory cortex 16 receives ear information, which is located slightly above the left and right ears and in the lower center of the temporal lobe 23, while the visual cortex 19 receiving eye information is at the lower end of the rearmost part of the left and right occipital lobes 22. .
Furthermore, the cerebrum is functionally composed of five association areas that process and judge information from the five senses, which are the frontal association area 24, the parietal association area 25, the occipital association area 18, the temporal association area 15, This is an exercise association area 26 sandwiched between the frontal association area 24 and the parietal association area 25. Each association area is distributed in the left and right brains, and each association area increases its functionality as the brain develops and grows.

The visual cortex 19 receives color, shape, depth, and movement information from the eyes, and the occipital association area 18 analyzes and integrates the information to judge and recognize the object.
In addition, there is a cross control in the brain. Information and movement on the right side of the body including the right eye are controlled by the left brain, and information and movement on the left side of the body starting from the left eye are controlled by the right brain.
The work of the left hemisphere of the brain is mainly logical thinking and calculation functions such as speaking, writing, and judgment. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, has a function that evenly corresponds to the left and right fields of view, and has comprehensive recognition and operation functions in space. In addition, the right hemisphere functions preferentially for the overall composition of paintings, the recognition of unknown melodies, and the decoding of the entire information of the outside world that enters the sight.

FIG. 3 is an external view of an apparatus for practicing the method for activating and training the brain according to the present invention. The learning data D of the activation file is read from the CD-ROM 1 as the storage medium by the personal computer 2 of the information processing apparatus, and the video data and Separate into audio data.

A video image signal (image data I) is sent to the electronic display device 4 and an analog audio signal (audio data S) is sent to the speaker 6, and the human H views the image on the screen 7 of the electronic display device 4 with the eye E and simultaneously listens to the ear Y. To listen to the sound from the speaker 6.
The personal computer 2 is connected to a keyboard 8 of an input device and a mouse 9 for selecting a picture (icon), a character, and the like on the screen 7.

Next, the configuration of the learning data D (learning file) is shown in FIG.
The learning data D1 is arithmetic and elementary English equivalent to early childhood education, and the video data I is [red apple], [+], [red apple], [=], and the character “Answer” Please do ". The voice data S is used for learning English words unrelated to the video data I, and is composed of [Uncle is an uncle].
When this learning data D1 is reproduced by the apparatus shown in FIG. 3, the screen 7 is displayed by inputting [red one apple], [+], [one red apple], [=] and the character “answer”. Please "is displayed. In addition, a voice is heard from the speaker 6 [Uncle is uncle].

In the learning data D1 of the learning file, the video data I asks the viewer H about [red apple], [+], [red apple] and [=], and requests a judgment. Such a character is “Please key in the answer”.
On the other hand, the voice data S utters voice [uncle is uncle] from the speaker 6 and requests the viewer H to be careful. Viewer H memorizes uncle.
The image of the apple or the like stimulates the visual cortex 19 by the visual sense of the eye H of the viewer H, and the answer is “3” by analyzing and integrating especially the addition of these apples in the occipital association area 18 behind the cerebrum. And pay attention to the text “Please enter the answer key” in the video.

The viewer H recognizes the keyboard 8 of the input device, confirms the answer “2” as an appropriate operation part, and creates a procedure for moving the finger of the hand in the motor association field 26 in the brain.
Next, the motor cortex issues a motion command to the spinal cord, and the spinal cord commands the key “2” operation of the corresponding part to the left and right hands, so that the viewer H responds to information from the visual cortex 19.
The addition of apples to the video is not related to the English pronunciation “uncle”, and at the same time, the visual and visual cortex 19 and the occipital association area 18 and another auditory and left and right temporal association area 23 and movement in the brain. Stimulates the association area 26. The visual content from the eyes (eye) and the audio content from the hearing (ears) are independent and different from each other. At the same time, they are processed in the association area of judgment and inference of different parts of the brain, and effective brain Activation can be realized.

In FIG. 5, the learning data D2 is an arithmetic level equivalent to elementary English and preschool education, and the video data I is composed of [red apple] and the spell “apple”. The voice data S is not related to the video data I, and is composed of a simple addition “7 + 5 = how many” and “Please input the answer”.
When the learning data D2 is reproduced by the apparatus of FIG. 3, [Red One Apple] and the spell “apple” are displayed on the screen 7. The speaker 6 also hears “7 + 5 = how many” and “Please enter the answer key”.

In the learning data D2 of the learning file, the video data I displays [red apple] and the spell “apple”, and requests the viewer H to remember.
On the other hand, the voice data S utters the voice “7 + 5 is (=) how many” and “Please key in the answer” like the reading of the abacus from the speaker 6, asks the viewer H and asks for judgment.
The sound such as the addition gives a stimulus to the auditory cortex 16 by the hearing of the ear Y of the viewer H. In the temporal association areas 15 and 23 below the cerebral temporal region, this addition is analyzed and integrated. 12 ”and pay attention to“ Please enter the answer key ”for the voice.

The viewer H recognizes the keyboard 8 of the input device, confirms the answer “12” as a proper operation part, and creates a procedure for moving the finger of the hand in the motor association field 26 in the brain.
Next, the motor cortex issues a motion command to the spinal cord, and the viewer H responds to information from the auditory cortex 16 by sequentially pressing the keys “1” and “2” of the corresponding part in the left and right hands.
It is irrelevant to the addition of “7 + 5 = how many” read-out by voice for [red apple] and spell “apple” in the video, and at the same time the vision and visual cortex 19 and the back of the brain It stimulates the association area 18 and other auditory senses and the left and right temporal association area 23 and the movement association area 26.

Next, in FIG. 6, in the learning data D3, the video data I is a study of Japanese history, and is composed of display characters [Ieyasu Mikawa spreading in Edo, Ieyasu Tokugawa (1603) in the Edo Shogunate], and voice data. S is composed of [car is car].
The video information of the characters is reflected on the left and right retinas through the left and right crystalline lenses of the eye, converted into electrical signals, passed through the thalamus via the nerves, and sent to the left and right visual cortex 19 that is a specific region of the cerebral cortex. . Information is organized in the thalamus. The visual cortex 19 is analyzed from various aspects such as the color, shape, brightness, movement, pattern, and position of the character image, recognizes what is seen, and the viewer H stores the year.
On the other hand, the voice information of English car (car) is a specific region of the cerebral cortex that the eardrum vibrates and reaches the cochlea via the ossicles, where the vibration is converted into an electrical signal, passes through the thalamus via the optic nerve. Sent to the left and right auditory cortex 16.
In the case of language, it goes from the auditory area 16 to the language area of the temporal association area 15, recognized as a word, and memorized that the car is a "car".

Further, in FIG. 7, the learning data D4 is composed of [large ship] and spell [ship] for video data I for English study, and voice data S for studying Japanese history [Let's make a good country] The Kamakura Shogunate is composed of 1192 (Kamakurabakufuha 1192 Nendez).
The image information of the large ship and characters is reflected on the left and right retinas through the left and right crystalline lenses of the eye, converted into electrical signals, passes through the thalamus through the nerves, and the left and right visual areas 19 that are specific areas of the cerebral cortex. Sent to. Information is organized in the thalamus. The visual cortex 19 is analyzed from various aspects such as the color and shape of the [large ship] and the spell [ship], recognizes what the viewer sees, and the viewer H stores [ship].
On the other hand, the audio information of “Ikunitsukuro Kamakurabakkuha 1192 Nendez” is that the eardrum vibrates and reaches the cochlea through the ossicles, where the vibration is converted into an electrical signal, passes through the thalamus through the optic nerve, It is sent to the left and right auditory areas 16 which are specific areas.
These words are recognized as words from the auditory area 16 to the linguistic area 15 of the temporal association area, and 1922 is remembered for the Kamakura Shogunate.

FIG. 8 is an external view of another apparatus for practicing the method of activating and training the brain according to the present invention.
