One should notice that Brain Gym® implements the visualization and simulation in a unique mode. During visualization and simulation of a challenging task, we always focus on the situation as we recall it from our experience. Most other methods use the visualization and simulation technique to visualize and simulate the desired end point performance.

The following example illustrates the performance enhancing potential of Brain Gym®:

I was hired by the parents of an eleven years old boy diagnosed with an Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The parents wanted to improve his concentration and behavior at school in order to enhance his learning achievements.

When asked to determine a personal goal, the boy chose to improve his ability to stand on his head. He chose this task as part of his ambition to excel in Capoeira. After completing a simple 60 minutes Brain Gym® Balance, the boy was able to stand on his head. He was astonished by his success and very proud of his achievement.

A few weeks later his parents were notified by the school headmaster that "miraculously", their son suddenly transformed: The boy's awareness of his behavior had improved remarkably as had his concentration.

I assume that by succeeding in the achievement of his personal goal (standing on his head), the child gained self-confidence and access to skills such as concentration focus and coordination, properties that must be exercised for the achievement of standing on ones head as well as for successful learning and self control.
