Tomatis® Audio Training on Memory Disorder of Patients with Stroke
After two sessions of Tomatis® audio training, the scores of the experimental group obtained by RBMT-Ⅱ increased significantly, as compared with that of the control group, in the aspects of recalling names and appointments, recognizing pictures and faces, spatial awareness, and immediate and delayed recall of stories, routes and mails. Conclusion: Tomatis® audio training can […]
Comparison of Effects of Auditory and Music Training of Blind or Visually Impaired Young People on Performance in Selected Auditory Tasks
Performance of blind/visually impaired children and teenagers before and after the auditory training and the music training in some auditory tasks (pitch discrimination, pitch–timbre categorization, pitch memory, lateralization of a stationary sound of a drum, lateralization of one or two moving motor vehicles) is compared. In the auditory training, the subjects were actively involved, i.e. […]
Scientific validation of the Tomatis® effect: EEG recordings of sound encoding from brainstem to cerebral cortex – Pilot Phase
The present research aimed at demonstrating whether the so-called “Tomatis® effect”, the reeducation of the auditory system, relies on an actual modification of sound encoding along the auditory pathway, from brainstem to cerebral cortex. On the one hand, this was evaluated by comparing the auditory evoked potentials of the electroencephalogram (EEG) – brain activity related […]
Mozart’s music in children with drug-refractory epileptic encephalopathies
Mozart’s sonata for two pianos in D major, K448, has been shown to decrease interictal EEG discharges and recurrence of clinical seizures in both adults and young patients. In this prospective, open-label study, we evaluated the effect of listening to a set of Mozart’s compositions, according to the Tomatis method, on sleep quality and behavioral […]
Case study of a child with organic damage within the central nervous system treated with the Tomatis® Method
Cerebral palsy is an illness comprising diverse movement disorders and attitudes disorders, resulting from long-lasting brain damage in the early stage of development. The psychophysical condition of the disabled child can be corrected through streamlining because of compensating possibilities of the brain. However, the care of the patient requires frequent hospitalizations and many neurological consultations, […]
Report of the analysis of the relationship between the use of the Tomatis® Method and the development of key competences on 1330 children with and without special needs
This project was financed by the European Union and lead by the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, Warsaw, Poland. Over a period of three years, 1330 pupils (with and without learning difficulties) from 62 Polish schools participated in the research. The results of the study demonstrate important positive effects of the Tomatis® Method. […]
The impact of the Tomatis® Method on an autistic child
Pioneering Qualitative research project focused in the observation and analysis of a 8 years old autist kid reactions, with careful attention when submitted to Tomatis® Method, a technique for processing acoustic messages through auditory stimulation by means of especially designed musical themes listening sessions and “Tooballo®” usage. In observations in situ before, during and after […]
Application and analysis of the Tomatis® Method with primary children in public schools
This report is a study into the optimisation of academic performance by means of a practical and tool: Solisten by Tomatis®, a listening-orientated pedagogical approach based on the Tomatis® Method which, using sensorineural auditory stimulation recovers active listening and improves attention span, concentration and memorization. At the end of the study, we make a general […]
The Tomatis® Method applied in the diagnosis and speech therapy
In audiology over the last few years much attention is given to the diagnoses of the Central Auditory Processing Disorders. These dysfunctions are also identified in people with language disorders. There exists therefore a need for effective methods to improve auditory perception. The Tomatis® Method is one of such proposals. For this reason, in Poland […]
Effect of Tomatis Listening Therapy on Sleep Structure in Patients with Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage
Abstract: Background Sleep-wake disorders are most likely to occur in patients after cerebral hemorrhage，which can delay the recovery process.But long-term pharmaceutical treatment can cause low response.Tomatis listening therapy can stimulate and improve the interconnections between human ears and the nervous system，thereby regulating the sleep structure via listening to the music consisting of sounds with the sudden […]
