A Smarter Approach to Learning

Ever wondered how to improve your learning? Why not try to control how you process information rather than just how to digest it? BrainRx, a program that trains the brain, is built on that principle. It may be unconventional, but it could be a completely revolutionary approach to learning.

Their approach is based on neuroplasticity: trying to “rewire” the brain so it can process information more efficiently and effectively. But it’s not what you might think — no surgeries, just psychological techniques.

There was once a case of a nine-year-old boy who could read aloud beautifully — perfect pronunciation and pacing. But he comprehended nothing. When he was asked what he saw while reading, he said “just black”. They figured he was just decoding symbols without creating mental images. During his visual processing training, he burst out: “You know when I read, I could already see pictures in half of my brain”. For the first time, his reading made sense.

It’s a completely different approach. They don’t just teach and test you with quizzes. They develop these seven fundamental skills: attention, processing speed, working memory, logic and reasoning, visual processing, auditory processing, and long-term memory.

It’s not comparable to school systems because they serve completely different purposes. Schools teach us things, but BrainRx trains how to understand those things efficiently. Schools teach us facts, but BrainRx trains how to make sense of those facts. They practically complement each other.

The program could be revolutionary, changing the way we approach learning. They don’t feed information. They feed skills. Why not try it ourselves?
