Articles, Abstracts, Research Papers and Related Information for Kirby Practitioners and Other Professionals
Auditory stimuli can be designed and
introduced via the auditory system to areas of the brain that are specifically
associated with autism, ADHD, and related disorders. The following articles,
while not specifically about AIT, describe some of the pioneering research
being done in the area of fractal time fluctuations (1/f) and their relationship to
brain function. Much of this research serves as the theoretical basis for the
Kirby Method of Auditory Integration Training. Of particular recent interest are
the articles about the relationship of the cerebellar vermis to ADHD and other
disorders. I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Carl Anderson of the
Harvard University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry for kind permission
to post some of his work on our website.
