Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of cognitive development and refers to a training system and a method for improving cognitive skills.
  • Cognitive skills also known as cognitive abilities or cognitive functions, refer to a set of mental processes and capabilities that enable individuals to acquire, process, store, and apply information from their surroundings and experiences. These skills are essential for understanding and navigating the world, solving problems, making decisions, and learning new things. Cognitive skills encompass a wide range of mental functions, including memory, attention, perception, language and communication, reasoning and problem-solving, executive functioning, spatial awareness, information processing, creativity, working memory etc., Cognitive skills are not fixed but can be developed and improved through education, training, practice, and life experiences. They play a fundamental role in academic achievement, career success, and everyday life, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them.
  • Brain training has gained significant attention in recent years as an effective means to improve cognitive performance.
  • Brain training systems are specialized tools and programs that use a combination of exercises, games, and feedback mechanisms to stimulate and challenge the brain, helping individuals improve their mental agility and performance. Users engage in structured activities that adapt to their skill level and provide real-time feedback, making brain training an engaging and effective way to boost cognitive abilities. Examples include neurofeedback, metacognition training, cognitive training games, mindfulness and meditation, brain computer interfaces, spaced repetition, biofeedback and so on.
  • Neurofeedback is a therapeutic technique that aims to help individuals regulate their brain activity by providing real-time information about their neural functioning.
  • the principle behind neurofeedback is based on the idea of self-regulation and operant conditioning. It begins with the measurement of brainwave activity using technologies such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), or Magnetoencephalography (MEG).
  • EEG is the most common method due to its accessibility and real-time monitoring capabilities.
  • the recorded brainwave signals are processed and analysed to identify specific patterns of neural activity. These patterns are associated with different cognitive states, emotions, or behaviours. Common brainwave frequencies include delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma.
  • the processed brainwave data is then presented to the individual in real time through various forms of feedback.
  • This feedback can take the form of visual, auditory, or tactile cues, depending on the neurofeedback system used.
  • the key principle of neurofeedback is operant conditioning. Through repeated exposure to the feedback, individuals learn to consciously or unconsciously modify their brainwave patterns. When their brain activity aligns with the desired state, they receive positive reinforcement through the feedback, making it more likely for them to continue producing those patterns.
  • the specific brainwave patterns targeted depend on the individual's needs and the goals of the training program.
  • Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own cognitive processes. It involves thinking about thinking and encompasses a range of mental activities that allow individuals to monitor, control, and regulate their cognitive functions. Metacognition involves two primary components: metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive control. Metacognitive knowledge involves understanding one's cognitive processes, including knowledge about how memory works, strategies for problem-solving, and the ability to assess one's own skills and knowledge. Metacognitive control refers to the ability to use metacognitive knowledge to plan, monitor, and adjust one's cognitive activities. It involves making decisions about when and how to apply specific strategies, how to allocate attention and resources, and when to seek additional information or assistance.
  • Metacognition is a crucial aspect of learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. It allows individuals to adapt to new situations, learn from experience, and improve their cognitive performance over time. When people are aware of their own thinking processes and can regulate them effectively, they are more likely to become better learners and problem solvers. Metacognitive skills are often taught and developed through educational strategies and interventions. For example, teachers may encourage students to reflect on their learning strategies, set goals, and engage in self-assessment. This can help students become more effective learners by understanding how they learn best and making conscious choices about their study methods and problem-solving approaches.
  • Cognitive Training Games often include a variety of cognitive games and exercises that challenge different cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and language skills. Examples include Sudoku for logic, memory matching games, and crossword puzzles. [007] Mindfulness and meditation practices can be incorporated into brain training to improve focus, attention, and emotional regulation. These techniques can help reduce stress and enhance cognitive performance.
  • Working memory training exercises focus on improving an individual's ability to temporarily hold and manipulate information in their mind. These exercises can involve tasks that require remembering and processing sequences of numbers or symbols.
  • BCIs Brain-Computer Interfaces
  • BCIs are used in some advanced brain training systems to improve focus, communication, and cognitive control for individuals with severe physical limitations.
  • Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing and testing knowledge at increasing intervals over time. It helps individuals retain information more effectively and is often used in language learning and memory improvement programs.
  • Brain training systems may include exercises that challenge problem-solving, reasoning, and critical thinking skills. These can involve logic puzzles, brainteasers, and strategic games.
  • Biofeedback techniques measure physiological responses (e.g., heart rate, skin temperature) and provide real-time feedback to help individuals learn to control these responses. Biofeedback can be used to reduce stress and anxiety, which can, in turn, improve cognitive performance.
  • physiological responses e.g., heart rate, skin temperature
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a training system and a method for improving cognitive skills which overcome the drawbacks described above.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a training system and a method for improving cognitive skills which is more efficient and can provide more rapidly an improvement of the cognitive skills. This is achieved by performing a monitored metacognition training process in a sensory deprivation enclosure as described below, wherein the user is floating and experiencing a weightless sensation.
  • the inventors of the present invention have determined that performing the metacognition training in a state similar to that of “being in the womb of the mother” (“womb-like state”) increases the neuroplasticity of the brain and promotes the synaptogenesis (formation of new connections) and the strengthening of the existing synaptic connections. This leads to a more efficient training resulting in a lower total training time needed to achieve the training goals.
  • neuronal plasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, and metacognition involves thinking about and understanding one's own cognitive processes.
  • Neuronal plasticity plays a fundamental role in learning and memory. When we learn new information or develop new cognitive skills, such as problem-solving strategies, the brain undergoes changes at the neuronal level. This can involve the strengthening of existing synaptic connections (long-term potentiation) or the formation of new connections (synaptogenesis). As individuals acquire and refine metacognitive skills, these neural changes may facilitate more effective metacognition.
  • Neuronal plasticity enables the brain to adapt to new situations and challenges. Metacognition involves recognizing when cognitive strategies are ineffective and making adjustments.
  • Metacognition training programs rely on the brain's plasticity to facilitate the development of metacognitive skills. As individuals engage in metacognitive training, they experience changes in neural circuits related to self-awareness and selfregulation. A brain with high plasticity is more adaptable, allowing individuals to develop and modify metacognitive strategies to better suit their goals and tasks. Thus, training the brain when the user is in a “womb-like state” is more effective due to the increased neuroplasticity of the brain.
  • neuronal plasticity allows the brain to adapt and reorganize in response to learning and cognitive challenges
  • metacognition involves the awareness and regulation of one's cognitive processes. These two processes can interact, with metacognition influencing how individuals leverage neuronal plasticity to optimize their cognitive functioning, and neuronal plasticity supporting the development and refinement of metacognitive skills.

  • Tones Different pitches or frequencies of tones can represent specific brainwave patterns. For example, achieving the desired brainwave state may result in a pleasant or calming tone, while deviations may produce less pleasant or discordant sounds or no sound at all.
  • the music's tempo, volume, or harmonic qualities may change in response to the individual's brainwave activity.
  • Binaural Beats involve playing two slightly different frequencies in each ear to create a perceived third frequency. The brain can entrain to this third frequency, which can be used to encourage specific brainwave states.
  • the processing unit is configured to continuously collect sensor information from the sensor assembly unit.
  • the processing unit includes amplifiers that increase the amplitude of the EEG signals while maintaining their integrity, because EEG signals are typically very weak and require amplification to make them suitable for real-time monitoring and feedback.

  • Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own cognitive processes. It involves thinking about thinking and encompasses a range of mental activities that allow individuals to monitor, control, and regulate their cognitive functions. Metacognition involves two primary components:
  • Metacognitive Knowledge This component involves understanding one's cognitive processes, including knowledge about how memory works, strategies for problemsolving, and the ability to assess one's own skills and knowledge. Metacognitive knowledge helps individuals answer questions like:
  • Metacognitive control refers to the ability to use metacognitive knowledge to plan, monitor, and adjust one's cognitive activities. It involves making decisions about when and how to apply specific strategies, how to allocate attention and resources, and when to seek additional information or assistance. Examples of metacognitive control include:
  • Metacognition is a crucial aspect of learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. It allows individuals to adapt to new situations, learn from experience, and improve their cognitive performance over time. When people are aware of their own thinking processes and can regulate them effectively, they are more likely to become better learners and problem solvers. [0061]
  • the system uses the sensors placed on the scalp to measure electrical activity in the brain. The sensors record brain activity patterns, which are then converted into digital signals in real-time. The digital signals are processed in real time and compared with the individual's goal is to consciously modify their brain activity to achieve a desired state. As the individual attempts to change their brain activity to match the desired pattern, the feedback display responds in real-time.
  • the individual's brain activity aligns with the target, they receive positive feedback, such as an audio signal. If their brain activity moves away from the target, the feedback adjusts accordingly. Over time, through repeated sessions, the user learns to recognize and control their brain activity, ultimately achieving the desired state more consistently.
  • operant conditioning is based on the idea that behaviours can be shaped through a process of reinforcement and punishment. It is often referred to as "instrumental conditioning" because it emphasizes the role of behaviour as a means to achieve a particular outcome or goal.
  • Key components of operant conditioning include:
  • Behaviour Operant conditioning focuses on observable behaviours that an individual emits in response to a specific situation or environment.
  • Consequences The consequences that follow a behaviour are crucial in operant conditioning. These consequences can be classified into two main categories: Reinforcement: Reinforcement is a consequence that strengthens or increases the likelihood of the behaviour occurring again in the future. Positive reinforcement involves adding a reward or pleasant stimulus after the behaviour, while negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the behaviour.
  • Punishment is a consequence that weakens or decreases the likelihood of the behaviour happening again. Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus after the behaviour, while negative punishment involves removing a rewarding stimulus to decrease the behaviour.
  • Operant conditioning is widely used in various fields, including education, therapy, and behaviour modification programs. It helps explain how behaviours are learned and maintained in response to their consequences and has practical applications in shaping and modifying behaviour.
