Abstract:
The present invention is a teaching and learning tool built on the principle that the human sense of touch makes a significant contribution in the visualization of objects. Sighted individuals can produce visual images inside the brain (commonly referred to as the “mind's eye”) via the sense of touch, where we use our minds, rather than our eyes, to visualize concrete objects allowing us to “get a picture” of that object. A “brain-sight” apparatus is disclosed that provides a box for containing object manipulatives and/or math manipulatives, two openings for receiving hands of a user, which openings are covered by a veil such that the user cannot see into the box. A user who places his hands into the box and manipulates the object manipulatives and/or math manipulatives in response to a posed problem, and then solves the posed problem in a traditional manner, benefits from cognitive enhancement provided by multi-modal stimulation of the somatosensory cortex and lateral occipital cortex.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said veil comprises a thin strip of cloth measuring approximately 7\u00d711 inches, wherein a top 2 inches of said strip of cloth is solid with adhesive on one side that is adhered inside of said front face above said two openings and a lower 5 inches of the veil has slits at half inch intervals.
