400 BC: Hippocrates discovered that a man’s brain is “double” and that each side has specialized functions.

1864: Paul Broca, a French Surgeon, worked with patients suffering from Aphasia (loss of speech). He discovered that they had damage to the LEFT SIDE of the brain.

1960: Joseph Bogen and Philip Vogel performed breakthrough surgery - ”SPLIT-BRAIN” surgery on epileptic patients. Roger Sperry received the Nobel Prize for his work on other “SPLIT-BRAIN” patients. All three of them concluded that the 2 hemispheres of the brain controlled different aspects of our actions and thoughts.

1978: Basal—Profiling: Researchers now concluded that we not only have Left- and Right-brain dominance, but also eye-, ear- and hand dominance. In 1978 the first Brain Profiling was implemented.

After 1978 many more studies have been done in this field, and in 1997 Annelize Van Tonder, Franchisor of Brain Clinic and All-In-One Education Center started with research on Hemispheric Specialization and more specifically the implications it has on the process of study. After intensive research she opened the first Brain Clinic, specializing in teaching a student the most time effective way to study according to his/her UNIQUE LEARNING PROFILE.
