Hello all,

I am very interested in PhotoReading and its potentials. As a result, I did some article search on it, but the only hits are internet commerical sites.

None of the academic abstracting services such as Academic Search Preimer have any hits for PhotoReading. I was expecting PR to be studied in at least some academic publications, but I could not find any.

If you know of any published studies or research on PR, please post them below.

Please understand that I am not looking for evidence on whether PR works or not. I merely wish to understand it more, and it was surprising that I could not find PR in academic journals.

Best regards,

If you can find an article as to why reading works (not photoreading but reading) you might understand why there is little research into photoreading.

They are only now uncovering how the mind reads with the use of fMRIs,

Other test like reading comprehension before and after are basicly redundant because you cannot adquately control the subject. Comparing 2 people on the same reading material is also redundant because how individual reading to the subject matter, prior knowledge about the and even testing for prior knowledge builds knowledge within individuals at different rates. Therefore any questions asked about the subject make the subject reduntant.

Right now the cost of doing fMRIs still makes research into what is happening when someone photoreads is a problem.

If you're looking for information that the mind processes information non consciously. There is plenty of research on that.

There was a study back a little while ago with NASA doing a horrible experiment with PhotoReading, which, according to the scientific method - is horridly incorrect in how it was composed.

My site offers Tips, though, as Paul Scheele and Alex have recently pointed out to me, there's a few sections in it that need a little bit of a revision. Still, you can find it here: http://www.geocities.com/doc5587/tips.htm

My site also has a little page called 'PhotoReading Side Effects' in which it talks about the physical and psychological sensations that go along with beginning PhotoReaders.
