STORY:

Dozens of children took part in a “holistic brain improvement” class at the Electrical Museum of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in Jakarta on Monday.

周一，十幾位小朋友在雅加達的塔曼迷你印尼英達電氣博物館，參加了「全腦開發」課程。

One of the activities was to allow the students to identify colors while blindfolded. A wooden drum plays in the background. Then the student is asked to guess the color of a ball.

其中一項課程活動，是讓學生矇住眼睛猜顏色。木鼓聲在背後播放著，然後學生被要求猜球的顏色。

Surprisingly, every student made the right guess.

令人驚訝的是，每位學生都猜對了。

[Cahya Yudi Widiyanto, Holistic Brain Improvement]:

“The brain works in waves or frequencies. It means the brain doesn’t need help from the eyes or others senses to discern situations. We use a wooden drum to improve the brain’s performance because the sound from the drum can improve the brain’s wave or frequency.”

[卡亞尤迪威弟雅圖，全腦開發]：

「大腦以腦電波或頻率的形式運作。這意味著大腦並不需要眼睛的幫助或其他感官來辨別情況。我們使用木鼓來改善大腦的效能，因為鼓聲可以提高大腦的波或頻率。」

This particular method was experimented on youth ages 5 to 15 years. It also allows children to do other activities with their eyes closed – even reading, drawing and bicycling.

這個特殊方法以五到十五歲的青少年為實驗對象。這個方法也能讓小孩能夠閉著眼睛從事其它活動—甚至閱讀、畫圖、騎腳踏車。

Another activity demonstrated the ability of the brain to multi-task. The students were asked to remember dozens of words that were said to them, while they did another activity, such as drawing.

另一個活動展示了大腦一心多用的能力。學生被要求在從事其它活動（例如畫圖）的同時，記憶十幾個同時被告知的單字。

Without a doubt, the students could remember the words that were said to them.

無庸置疑地，學生們能夠記住那些單字。

A unique discovery from this method shows that the brain’s performance corresponds with one’s moral qualities. The higher one’s moral values are, the better the brain performs.

這個方法還有一個獨特的發現，顯示了大腦的效能和人的品德水準相輔相成。一個人的道德價值觀愈高，他大腦的運作就愈強。

It lets the children discern good from bad.

它讓孩子們辨別好與壞。

[Cahya Yudi Widiyanto, Holistic Brain Improvement]:

“They are able to describe what happens when they do one act. They are able to describe, so one person is able to predict what will happen if they do one act. So one can be more diligent and improve moral quality because one can discern right from wrong. If one does a good deed, one would expect a good outcome. It makes ones heart become more truthful. This is special."

[卡亞尤迪威弟雅圖，全腦開發]：

「當他們做一個行為，他們能夠描述將發生什麼事。因為他們能夠描述，所以當他們做一個行為時，能夠去預測會發生什麼事。所以，一個人可以分辨是非，他可以更努力並且提昇道德水準。如果一個人做了好事，那麼他可以期望一個好的結果。它使人的心變得更真誠。這很特別。」

This “Holistic Brain Improvement” method can be used on children to help them do better in school and to help build moral character.

這個『全腦開發』方法可以用來幫助孩子在校表現更好，並且幫助他們建立品德。
