Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: CTT) announced the publication in August of an article in the Vol. 3, No. 2, 2007 issue of the International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT) citing the positive results in the double-blind testing of the efficacy of the MC Square device for improving verbal memory, learning and attention. Test results showed statistically reliable improvement in the measure of attention/concentration following training with the MC Square. CTT has U.S. distribution rights for the patent-pending technology licensed by Thomas Jefferson University of Philadelphia (Jefferson), to Seoul, Korea-based Daeyang E&C, Inc. (KOSDAQ: 033030).

The original device, created in Korea, designed to provide stress relief, improved concentration and relaxation, and as a learning aid, has sold over 1.2 million units. Researchers at Jefferson, under the direction of Neuropsychologist Joseph I. Tracy, Ph.D, associate professor of Neurology and Radiology, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, and Director, Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Imaging Laboratory Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, tested the Jefferson-modified device for improvement of attention and concentration.

The MC Square uses Audio-Visual Stimulation through synchronized sound and light rhythms to influence brain activity. Based upon the results of rigorous testing, as detailed in the IJLT article, A test of the efficacy of the MC Square device for improving verbal memory, learning and attention, Jefferson's researchers and Daeyang E&C jointly filed a patent to utilize the improved MC Square device as a method of treatment for age-related memory loss. Under the licensing agreement, Daeyang is granted exclusive commercial rights to the technology.

IJLT, published by Inderscience (http://www.inderscience.com/ijlt), is an international, refereed journal providing a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of articles regarding the role of learning technologies in learning and instruction. Articles focus on the study of knowledge and learning vis-à-vis instruction and the technologies and tools that support the process.

Based on the patent-pending treatment method, the MC Square target market has been expanded from students to include normal, healthy individuals that report, or are at risk of, mild memory loss. CTT is targeting this large growing segment of the US population with marketing and distribution plans for MC Square that focus on user experience with the device.
