Abstract
A diagnostic and remedial process is provided for improving the efficiency of education by determining when a subject is engaged in long-term learning, resulting in long-term memory by sensing, measuring, displaying, monitoring, recording and analyzing transitional evoked potentials reflecting the occurrence of learning and memory resulting from the chemoelectric reactions in the human brain associated with long-term learning, which produce different end products in respect to both chemical and electrical characteristics than reactions associated with short-term learning, and which are associated with the voltage component, only, of the electroencephalograph (EEG) signal generated by a subject during a learning situation during the diagnostic process an individual teacher/subject counseling arrangement utilizing biofeedback may be enacted in order to accomplish the remedial process of permitting the subject to control his autonomic nervous system.
