Abstract
With aging, human´s brain function declines, and information processing ability becomes weak correspondingly. In auditory field, a kind of new proposed voice separation ability was measured quantitatively, and its relation to age was also found by measurement experiments of 234 subjects. Based on the results, a method of brain enhancement by voice separation training was proposed in this paper. Through three weeks´ training experiments, the brain enhancement effects were indicated in three aspects: improvement of voice separation ability, influence to other brain functions, and blood flow change of brain surface. The experiment results showed the validity of this training method, and it is considered that this training method can be possibly applied to early maintenance and recovery of braining cognition deficit.
