Apparatus for learning by the super-learning method

Claim 1

An apparatus for learning by the super-learning method comprising, a sound tape device containing a multitrack sound tape, the latter containing, or to be provided with, the educational matter being recorded, or to be recorded, on at least one track of said tape in adaptation of a preset cadence, and background music recorded, or to be recorded, onto at least one further track of said tape and multipole switching means for selecting at least one track of said sound tape, an electroacoustic transducer, preferably being headphones, working electrically together with said device through said multipole switching means, wherein said preset cadence and the educational matter being given to the pupil by the transducer, the latter being reproduced by playback of the sound tape by means of said device being actuated by said switching means and wherein at least the second recital of the educational matter being accompanied by background music mixing an acoustic speech output with one music output of said device, further including a cadence generator producing itself acoustic output signals and having an output for acoustic representation of the aforesaid cadence, a biofeedback unit for detecting the prevailing state of relaxation of the pupil by an electrode to be secured to the pupil and having an output for acoustic representation of said prevailing state of relaxation, said cadence generator and said biofeedback unit being directly electrically connected to said switching means for channeling selectively the outputs of said cadence generator and/or of said biofeedback unit to the transducer singly or in combination together with the outputs of said sound tape device, and by a control system which automatically and intentionally varies the sound level of the speed recital and which is connected between the sound tape device and the transducer, whereby the pupil can enhance his learning ability and can himself observe his best state of learning.

Claim 2

An apparatus for learning by the super-learning method comprising, a sound tape device containing a multitrack sound tape, the latter containing, or to be provided with, the educational matter being recorded, or to be recorded, on at least one track of said tape in adaptation of a preset cadence, and background music recorded, or to be recorded, onto at least one further track of said tape and multipole switching means for selecting at least one track of said sound tape, an electroacoustic transducer, preferably being headphones, working electrically together with said device through said multipole switching means, wherein said preset cadence and the educational matter being given to the pupil by the transducer, the latter being reproduced by playback of the sound tape by means of said device being actuated by said switching means and wherein at least the second recital of the educational matter being accompanied by background music mixing an acoustic speech output with one music output of said device, further including a cadence generator producing itself acoustic output signals and having an output for acoustic representation of the aforesaid cadence, a biofeedback unit for detecting the prevailing state of relaxation of the pupil by an electrode to be secured to the pupil and having an output for acoustic representation of said prevailing state of relaxation, said cadence generator and said biofeedback unit being directly electrically connected to said switching means for channeling selectively the outputs of said cadence generator and/or of said biofeedback unit to the transducer singly or in combination together with the outputs of said sound tape device, and by a control system which automatically and intentionally varies the sound level of the speed recital and which is connected between the sound tape device and the transducer, whereby the pupil can enhance his learning ability and can himself observe his best state of learning.
