Don't Just Survive, Thrive

As an adult, between family, work, and financial responsibilities, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of just surviving, not thriving. It can be easy to forget we are capable of doing and becoming anything, and that our personal-growth can be continuous. Caught up in the importance of our daily responsibilities, it becomes easy to overlook our brain's potential to create more joyful and meaningful experiences.

Introducing The Phonemic Intelligence (PI) Solution

Phonemic Intelligence for adults is specially designed to unlock your highest potential by activating and enhancing your natural, dormant intelligence. This is made possible by the exclusive sound-technology used in PI, which is demonstrated to stimulate specific areas of the brain, and positively effect at least thirty three key intelligence and behavior competencies.

Phonemic Intelligence Research and Testing

Field Test

Five years of consistent PI practice by fifty young boys living in extreme poverty in India resulted in a 75% success rate in college attendance and graduation. A second program initiated shortly after for thirty girls living in the same conditions produced a 100% success rate in moving on to attend and graduate from college.

World-Class Brain Study

Research conducted at Brain Science International by co-founder Jay Gunkelman confirmed that PI activates a key area of the brain known as the Anterior Cingulate, which acts as a fulcrum that controls the activity between the frontal lobes and limbic system (center of emotions and motivations, especially related to survival, fear, anger, and pleasure) and also houses a special class of super-intelligent neurons called Von Economo neurons.

Published Medical Research

Medical students at SRM University in Chennai, India practiced PI for six weeks before their medical exams, resulting in improved academic scores, reduced stress hormones, and better coping skills (Indian Journal of Medical Science, 2010).

Ongoing Research

We currently have five ongoing Phonemic Intelligence studies taking place in different parts of the world, including field and lab studies for both children and adults. We are also currently partnering with Harvard University in an upcoming study slated to research how PI impacts the brain.

PI Has Been Helping People
for Over a Decade

To date, over twenty three thousand people in the U.S., India, and Mexico have been trained in Phonemic Intelligence and reported transformational results like:

  • Increased intellect
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Increased compassion
  • Increased optimism
  • Increased creativity
  • Improved decision-making skills
  • Improved speech and expression
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
