Cyclic stereophonic sound pattern method and apparatus for reading improvement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A reading method to be employed by a reader comprising listening to a cyclic stereophonic sound pattern having a pitch while reading text;
- wherein said cyclic stereophonic sound pattern has been created by panning a recorded continuous sound source from left to right and from right to left to create a cyclic stereophonic sound pattern comprised of a "left to right then right to left" auditory cycle; and
wherein said cyclic stereophonic sound pattern paces the reader'"'"'s eye movement over the text in a "left to right then right to left" manner; and
wherein the pitch of said cyclic stereophonic sound pattern is adjusted.

Abstract
A reading method for reading text whereby the reader listens to a cyclic stereophonic sound pattern while reading text. The cyclic stereophonic sound pattern paces the reader'"'"'s eye movement over the text. A decrease in the pitch of the stereophonic sound pattern reduces reader stress due to learning to read more quickly. The invention also includes reading improvement apparatus used in the practice of this method.
