IntroductionEverybody wants to learn faster then other else. The previous studies about the learning process explained that the repetitive learning procedures with optimal frequencies could increase the number of the synaptic information transmission relationship with the long-term memory. We would like to present a brain activity and physiological parameters guided learning process based on multimedia application.

MethodsThe Brain Turbo system consists of three parts: a computer with the control program, a virtual reality headpiece with video glasses and earphones and detectors like EEG and pulse meter. The EEG electrodes can monitor the brain activity and with a feedback mechanism these able to control of the acoustic and visual multimedia system. This system can guide the brain activity to the alpha condition. When this condition achieved start the special visual and acoustic learning processes. The frequency of the lessons controlled by the amplitudes of the alpha waves.

ResultsThe students were able for the fast learning with long term remembrance. The studying time decreased significantly. There is a strong connection between the stored information’s by hearing or visual system. While the learned words and terms stored in the long-term memory the remembrance process is faster.

ConclusionComparing the Brain Turbo System guided learning process with the ordinary learning procedures; the methods offer a new, revolutionary perspective in the education.
