Research Bulletin

BACKGROUND

The Creative Imagineering tape was originally developed as part of a larger series of tapes based on the pioneering work of Win Wenger (Ph.D.) of Project Renaissance and Paul Overman (Ph.D.) of Quantum Link.

This series of tapes, called - Inspired- Advanced Creativity and Genius is based around Dr. Winger's work with "Image Streaming", a unique form of verbal description which has been shown to increase certain intelligence factors such as analytical ability and creativity, (see Research Abstracts on the back of this page),

Dr. Wenger and Dr. Overman approached ABR to put certain mental protocols on tape so that these revolutionary techniques for mental development could be made available to more people.

As we explored the tonal and musical patterns to facilitate work in this area, we first focused on those brain entrainment frequencies that would best stimulate and sustain mental imagery experiences. The trick was to "slow down" brain wave patterning to increase visual and perceptual imagery while keeping the brain alert enough to allow detailed verbal description. We found the idea! range for this type of mental phenomena be in the 8 -10 HZ (cps) range or a low to mid alpha. Lowering the frequency beyond 8 HZ resulted in a "sluggishness" of the speech centers, making verbal description more difficult. Raising the frequency above 10HZ, however, seemed, in most cases, to greatly diminish or stop the mental imagery process all together.

Next, we developed psychoacoustic tracks which included specially composed music to facilitate evocative experiences and emotional tonalities. The resulting tonal matrix evokes mental imagery while targeting specific brain wave patterns, thus generating a wide range of visual and perceptual experiences.

When used in conjunction with the Image Streaming process, this tape facilitates the effectiveness of this technique by 1) supporting brain wave patterning conducive to mental and perceptual imagery, 2) the deepening of emotional response through the structure of the music itself and 3) the combination makes the process more "entertaining" thus the process is more likely to be used on a regular basis.. The tape comes with complete instructions.

APPLICATIONS

1. The increase of I.Q. and Creativity

The most obvious use of the Creative Imagineering tape is in the area of mental performance and creativity. Use of the tape in conjunction with the image Streaming Protocol increases analytical ability, language facility and creativity.

2. The increase of visualization abilities

In addition, the tape also comes with instructions for increasing visualization skills. Many people desire to increase their ability to "see" mental images, but do not know how to go about such a task. The protocol for increasing visualization abilities (included with the tape) has been reported to be highly effective with a broad range of persons. The tonal matrix on the tape seems both to facilitate and accelerate the acquisition of visualization abilities.

3. Deepening Meditational Experiences

This application is unusual. With experienced mediators the tape seems to facilitate a wide range of experiences in both light and deep meditative states.

Inexperienced meditators also seem to have unique experiences and the brain entrainment facilities a light relaxed state of awareness.

4 Psychotherapy and self-exploration

The tonal matrix of this tape is helpful in a wide range of psychotherapeutic situations where the generation of "content" as in memories or the exploration of impressions is desired. Played at low volume, in the background, this tape greatly facilitates these processes.

A Preliminary Comparison Between Two Methods of Intellectual Skill Development

By Charles P. Reinert. Ph.D., Dept. of Chemistry / Physics, Southwest Stale University, Marshall, MN

Presented to the annual Conference of the Society for Accelerative Learning and Teaching, San Diego, CA April 27, 1989

ABSTRACT

Each student in two sections of a one quarter entry level SALT style physics course (n=79) was allowed to choose one of two intellectual skill building programs- one following a text by A. Whimbey and J. Lockhead and specifically for analytical skills, the other following a technique of W. Wenger ("Image Streaming") with more holistic goals.

Approximately equal numbers of students chose each method. Pre-tests of analytical skill level and learning style were given. Apart from initial instruction and occasional checking by the instructor, students worked independently, out of class.

Image Streaming students practiced approximately half as many hours as did the Whimbey students.

Analysis of results from Section 1 suggests that analytical skills increased slightly more for Image Streaming than for the Whimbey method by the end of the course. Positive correlation was noted between course performance and increase of analytical skills.

The data of Section 1 is consistent with an improvement rate of approximately 0.4 I.Q. point per Whimbey practice hour, and approximately 0.9 I.Q. point per Image Streaming practice hour. Learning Style Inventory post-tests suggest that students who practiced Image Streaming became more "balanced" in thinking style, while students who used the Whimbey text became less "balanced".

Note #1: The results of this study suggested a positive correlation between hours of "image streaming" and an increase in students' analytical skills as measured by a simple 38 point test, the Whimbey Analytical Skills Inventory. This "WASI" test had previously been correlated with the Otis Lennon Mental Ability Test (A, Whimbey, private communication). On the basis of the correlation, the resulting I.Q. increase was found to be approximately 0.8 I.Q. point per hour of practice. It was also found that the average learning style of the students who image streamed moved toward a more "balanced" position, as measured by Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (Kolb, 1976).

Note #2: Win Wenger, Ph.D., the originator of the "Image Streaming" process describes it as a form of "pole bridging". In other words, the process of verbally describing visual images, and sensory impressions "pole bridges" the visual - sensory areas of the brain with the speech centers. Better connections are thus made between these centers resulting in greater mental ability and creativity.

A Preliminary Study of the Effect of Verbally Described Imagery In the Development of Intellectual Skills at the University Level

Charles P. Reinert, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry/ Physics, Southwest State University, Marshall, MN

Presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Accelerative Learning and Teaching, Chicago, IL. April 27-30,1990

ABSTRACT

A special one quarter, 4 credit hour course was developed at Southwest State University in order to begin to understand the effect of a verbally described imagery process, "Image Streaming", on the development of intellectual skills of university students. Most of the students in the course had been provisionally admitted to the University, with a measured I.Q. slightly below 95. Pre-tests and post-tests of analytical skills, creativity, and learning style were administered. Students' verbalization techniques were monitored during each class. Cerebral dominance was measured using eye, ear, and leg preference. Occasional feedback was solicited from students concerning health, the number of intuitive insights experienced and other factors.

Preliminary analysis of results suggests that students' analytical skills rose with increasing hours in image streaming, with the largest rates being measured for the lowest initial analytical skills. The corresponding I.Q. gain per hour of practice rangedfromahighof+2.3l.Q.pointsperhourtoa!owof-0.9 I.Q. points per hour, with a standard deviation of 0.7. There was some indication that students with the highest I.Q. gain rates tended to be left cerebral dominant, and those with the lowest rates were right cerebral dominant. The average gain was 0.44. Increases in "artistic" creativity were also noted, with slightly larger increases noted for students with initially higher analytical skills. These students also reported more intuitive insights than the students with initially lower analytical skills. A modest decrease in "verbal" creativity was noted, this decrease being slightly greater for those students with initially higher analytical skills. As a whole, the group moved slightly toward preferences for "active experimentation" and "concrete experience", as measured by Kolb's Learning Style Inventory.
