INTERACTIVE METRONOME
The human brain is truly amazing and incredibly complex. For example billions of brain neurons communicate in patterned ways within split second timing, thereby linking various parts of the brain. Sometimes things go wrong with this timing, or with various parts of the brain failing to link in properly with other parts. When this happens what we observe is one or more conditions such as:
- ADD
- ADHD
- Sensory Integration problems
- Lack of emotional control
- Dyslexia
- Literacy problems
- Numeracy problems
- Memory problems
Physical trauma such as traumatic brain injury, or a stroke can also be the source of timing and synchronicity problems within the brain. Interactive Metronome (IM) has been shown to remediate many of these problems. IM is research-based, and has been available in the USA for 15 years and is currently in more than 1500 hundred clinics, hospitals, school and private practices. The brain has an amazing capacity to rehabilitate when things go wrong! This capacity is commonly referred to as neuroplasticity.
IM is based on neuroplasticity. It is a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the client to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones. The client attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions. A auditory-visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, and a score is provided.
What is IM-Home?
IM-Home is the Interactive Metronome (IM) for home-use. IM has been used for years to help you reach your brain and body’s full potential and now you do not need to go to the clinic to get the benefits. A specialist works with you to help you complete our research-based program and gives you the tools for continued success.
IM can also be used for enhancement of cognitive and athletic performance!
