About Dr. Makoto Shichida & Right Brain Development Theory
Chairman of the Shichida Educational Institute, Dr. Makoto Shichida has been extensively researching development of the right brain for years. His findings have been acknowledged worldwide and his theory is put into practice at over 400 schools throughout Japan. The right brain generally dominates the recognition of images/shapes/spatial patterns, illustrations, music, intuition and emotions. In essence, Shichida's Right Brain Development Theory revolves around the practice of daily repeated drills of viewing shapes and colors, absorbing large amounts of information quickly and being able to then accurately reproduce those images visually. The repeated stimulation activates the right brain and heightens its potential.
