Whole Brain Advantage
AmalgaMind’s holistic brain development program goes beyond traditional learning by fostering the balanced development of both the left and right hemispheres of the brain which is often overlooked by the conventional education mechanism.
This program takes a unique approach to learning by focusing on stimulating the right hemisphere of the brain, often associated with visual and spatial processing, creativity, intuition, and holistic thinking. Simultaneously it focuses on left hemisphere of the brain, known for its association with logical thinking, language processing, and analytical skills.
Main aim of our Brain enrichment or cognitive training program is to stimulate your child’s brain to promote its neuroplasticity. This amazing ability allows their brain to form new connection and organize existing ones improving overall brain power or cognitive functioning including memory, attention, processing speed, logic, problem-solving, decision making.
Window of Opportunity
Early years are critical for lifelong cognitive (brain), emotional and physical abilities.
Unleash Brain's peak potential, build foundation for future growth
During the early years, the brain forms new connections at an astonishing rate, reaching nearly one million per second at its peak. This builds a vast network of potential connections, laying the groundwork for future learning and cognitive abilities.
Investing in the early years, as opposed to later in life, has a profound impact on a child’s lifelong capacity to learn, manage emotions and behaviour, and maintain physical health. A well-connected brain developed during early childhood enables quicker acquisition of new skills, such as language, numeracy, problem-solving, decision-making, and creative thinking, even in later years.
Some skills, like language, are particularly sensitive during early development. If not nurtured in these formative years, it becomes challenging to develop them later in life. For instance, while people may spend years trying to learn a new language as adults, they may struggle to achieve fluency comparable to those who learned it early.
Contrary to popular belief, executive functions—such as planning, organizing, regulating emotions, managing behavior, working memory, time management, goal orientation, and flexibility—begin to develop in early childhood. Positive interactions and stimulating environments play a crucial role in fostering the early development of these essential skills.

- Holistic Thinking: Right Brain Education encourages children to see the bigger picture, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them. This holistic approach enriches learning and promotes critical thinking.
- Academic Confidence: Develop strong foundational skills and a love for learning, fostering confidence in academic settings.
Program elements
Brain Games
Memory Games
These games often involve tasks that require learners to recall information, patterns, or sequences. They focus on improving short-term memory, long-term memory, and working memory
Attention or Processing Speed
These games typically involve tasks that require individuals to stay engaged, ignore distractions, and selectively focus on specific stimuli. Speed games test the ability to process information swiftly and execute actions promptly.
Visualisation
Games designed to enhance one’s ability to create mental images or to imagine specific scenarios, shapes, or objects. These games require to engage in imagination, spatial reasoning skills, and memory to visualize and manipulate mental images.
Logic or reasoning
These games often require players to analyze information, make inferences, and draw conclusions based on given rules or conditions. They challenge learners to apply logical thinking, inductive or deductive reasoning.
Numeracy or Language
Numeracy and language games help learners improve their skills in mathematics and language arts. These games aim to reinforce key concepts, develop critical thinking, and enhance proficiency in numerical and linguistic skills in fun way.
Problem Solving
Problem-solving games are activities or challenges that require players to use critical thinking, creativity, and strategic planning to overcome obstacles and achieve specific goals.
Flashcards with Info Bytes
Flashcards are a learning tool consisting of small cards, in paper or digital format, that contain images on one side and the corresponding information (name with info bytes) on the other side.
Along with that, we offer “Information bytes” on each topic. These are bite-sized pieces of information that are easy to understand and remember. They’re short and designed to share interesting facts quickly. These help learners build a story around a concept, which can be useful in different situations or contexts later.
Categories of Flashcards
- Science & Technology
- Math & Finance
- Geography & Cultures
- History & Biographies
- Artforms
- Multiple languages
- Reading
- World Connect
Mindfulness and Emotional Balance
Emotion Check In
Learners take time to assess and communicate their current emotional state. It involves pausing to reflect on one’s feelings, identifying and labelling emotions, and sharing them with others if desired.
Positive Affirmations
Statements or phrases that are intentionally designed to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs and replace them with positive ones. Positive affirmations often focus on affirming one’s self-worth, capabilities, and potential for growth.
Relaxation Exercise
By practising mindfulness regularly, individuals can learn to better manage their thoughts and emotions, develop greater clarity and concentration, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and balance.
Science behind the Concept
Though this concept might be new to India, it has been adopted in countries like Japan, the US, Canada, etc for decades now. In fact, they have already started experiencing remarkable changes in their young generation due to this methodology. Thousands of schools established globally to provide the right brain education and around lacs of students who have benefited from this method.
Within India, AmalgaMind has been rendering this program for decade now and learners who have undertaken our program for long have been observed to gain expanded learning capacity, stronger memory, sharpened attention, enhanced problem solving skills, improved analytical and creative thinking, better decision making and more.
