Forbrain®

 Improve attention, speech, and memory with just the sound of your own voice! 

Forbrain® is a unique headset that helps your brain to process sensory information more effectively. By correcting the perception of your voice, the way you speak is corrected naturally and without conscious effort. This is known as the audio-vocal loop effect.

Use your voice to boost your brain 

Forbrain® works simultaneously on all parts of the audio-vocal loop and gives the nervous system an excellent sensory workout. Forbrain® also improves attention and memory through increased stimulus while speaking and connecting the speech part of our brains to the memory part of our brains.

What are the benefits of using the Forbrain® headset 

Enhance attention

Enhance your attention with the sound of your voice

Our ability to sustain attention depends on the general state of alertness and vigilance enabling the nervous system to be receptive to all forms of incoming information. However, to function optimally the brain requires stimuli, and the majority of these are received via the ear. Forbrain® works on this state of cortical alertness by favouring the transmission of the higher frequencies of the voice which have an extremely important energising function.

The dynamic filter also creates variations in voice intensity and resonance, the effect of which is to continually surprise the brain, thus keeping it in a state of alertness. The purpose of this is to help strengthen these automatic mechanisms of change-detection and adjustment, thus enhancing our attention level.

Improve speech fluency

Improve your speech fluency

Speech is characterised by a complex chain of articulated sounds which are arranged in a very specific rhythmic pattern. This rhythm is based on the amplitude and the duration of the emitted sounds and the emphasis given to each. Speech depends on our ability to consciously generate these sounds. Managing this requires a continual adjustment between the sounds we give out and what our ear perceives mainly via bone conduction.

This is known as phonological awareness. By amplifying the fundamental sounds of spoken language and favouring their perception via bone conduction, Forbrain® facilitates our ability to speak and communicate fluently.

Forbrain® Supercharge your memory

Supercharge your memory of what you say and hear

Memory plays an essential role in all learning processes, beginning with reading. It is mainly our short-term memory, also known as phonological memory, which enables us to store verbal information for rapid analysis. It is the verbal memory that we use when reading a text, and which enables us to make sense of the text and structure it with punctuation and rhythm.

It is also what enables us to hold a conversation and follow a line of reasoning. Verbal memory is linked to awareness of articulation in speech, in other words, to the level of attention focused on the message given out and received. The Forbrain® filter highlights the rhythm of speech, and bone conduction facilitates its integration, thus enhancing our ability to retain the message.

Forbrain® for School Children

Forbrain® functions as an audio-vocal workout. The moment you speak, this unique device corrects the sound of your voice via a dynamic filter. The sounds are immediately transmitted back to you by bone conduction, that is, by vibration through the bones situated in front of the ears. You won’t hear any echo, but you will hear your voice differently.

By using Forbrain® you will perceive your voice filtered and modulated by a frequency-modifying filter. This filter is dynamic, meaning it continually activates and de-activates depending on the sounds you are uttering. It is programmed to amplify high frequencies and soften low frequencies and is triggered by the initial articulation of words and by the pronunciation of long vowels. It highlights the so-called ‘bright sounds’ which play a very significant role in language development. This extremely sensitive dynamic filter enables you to hear your corrected voice. Consequently, your speech will be improved spontaneously and without conscious effort, and your voice will become more rhythmic, more resonant, and more harmonious.

Bone conduction transmits sound by vibration through contact with the bones situated in front of the ear. This type of transmission is 10 times faster than air transmission and of far better quality. It is the most natural way to hear yourself. Bone conduction, therefore, enables you to hear your voice in a very clear and natural way.

Forbrain® for Children
I’m pleased with the Forbrain headset and will continue to have my son use it. I only wish this device existed during my son’s early intervention days.
