Ok, this is insanity. It is fabulous that you want to teach your children to read, but please, please let your common sense - the sense you had before you were a parent - take over, even for a brief second.
Children are not learning math with dots. I have some snake oil to sell you if you believe with your rational brain that flashing a bunch of dots on cards is teaching babies math. They are memorizing the dot patterns. The idea that you are interested in your baby's brain waves is downright scary. Your baby is not a science experiment. Your baby is not here for you to prove that you can make him an uber being. If your baby has a high IQ learning will come easily.
Now seriously, I am telling you this from experience. I don't care if you have fooled yourself into believing that your child will find this constant, obesssive focus on his intelligence "fun" or "great"; you are creating all kinds of emotional issues that will come out later, taking the form of a ridiculous drive for perfection to gain your approval.
Teach your child his ABC's early - this is super - this headstart is all he needs.
Please listen to me, because when he/she decides he doesn't like school anymore, or that he wants to be a mechanic and not a doctor, you are going to - despite your best efforts - resent him for not being the uber man you tried to create.

I would say you really don't know what are these about the point of early education before you comment here
Well, I think you really have no idea how much our kids love to learn and they are capable to learn. Especially from their very young age. We as a parents should let our open minded and research how to stimulate our baby to learn easily in future. Learning can be fun for them without pressure or force them. My son just turn 2 years old can read more than 900 words , and what I did is only show some program and flash cards for 10 minutes for 3 times a day. He always tell me some words, shapes and colors when he seen something around him. He feels so enjoy when I prised him he tells me right.
According the Math Dot you were telling us about is not true. The truth is our baby can capable to count and learn from the dots. According to Prof. Glenn Doman and Shichida Makoto . Babies 0-3 capable to recognize dots in the card. What we need is just some method to show them. Is already proven method that is work. Just only parents to work on it everyday. So no point that you judge of the method no working ! Because they are Professor of Early Education and even they helps many Brain Injured Child capable to read and they can be like normal child.Isn't it great ? I think they are super to all the mom around the world.
Like we as a parent, why don't we let our baby have a great stimulation while at their genius learning stage. ABC is not enough for our baby,you probably have no idea how much they capable to learn. This is not a myth! That's according scienctist had doing the research many years.
I don't even start ABC from the beginning either, I started Phonics and now my son turned out able to read even he hasn't learn that word before. Isn't great ? Math dot just like I was mentioned , they learn from the quantities first before introduce 123. This is how it's work and some kids if they did from very young age below 1, they can count complicated math.
I would never take my son for experiment. That's nothing to prove what I'd got later on. What I did is just doing as good mom should do. I'm not expecting my son to be perfect , but I would giving all the best if I could.
I will try it and I will keep you up date how is the progress.
how blessed I was
