What is the Tomatis method and what is the TalksUp device?
The method was developed by Dr. Alfred Tomatis, who noticed the correlation between a person’s ability to hear, listen and interact with the surrounding world. This is training aimed at improving sensory perception skills. It does not replace work with a specialist by itself, but in combination with traditional treatment, Tomatis significantly improves the expected results.
This work requires a TalksUp device or “Electronic Ear”. This is a special device that modulates sounds and creates a contrast of perception: timbre, saturation, volume of the music being played. These “switches” suddenly “surprise” the ear and brain. When a person does not expect such changes, he becomes more attentive to the information perceived by hearing.
TalksUp is professional equipment. This is the next generation of such devices as Tomatis Audio Pro (TAP) or Solisten.
