What is
IM?:
The Interactive Metronome
is the only research-based training program that combines the
concept of a musical metronome with a patented technology system
that accurately measures and improves a person's rhythm and
timing. By improving these fundamental abilities, the IM
program "trains the brain" to plan, sequence and process
information more effectively.
How Does
IM Work?:
Administered through certified
professionals, the IM program typically involves 15 sessions that can be
completed in 3-5 weeks. Thirteen different hand and foot exercises
are performed while auditory guide tones direct the individual to match
the metronome beat. The difference between the individual's
response and the computer-generated beat is measured in milliseconds
(ms.) and a score is provided. A low ms. score indicates improved
timing and overall performance. This interactive training process
provides an opportunity to exercise and build the core mental skills
essential for learning and development.
Benefits:
The IM program is physically
interactive so participants stay engaged and challenged. Research
shows IM improves:

Control of Aggression &
Impulsivity
