Hey,

I've been doing photoreading kinda intense for about 2 weeks, since I'm preparing for my exams which commence on 19th of this month.

What i noticed today was that i started feeling kind of a light pressure on my temples. No pain, just some pressure which feels somewhat nice.

Anybody have any idea why this is happening?

Pretty common for PhotoReaders to become aware of sensations in the head when they've actively used the system for a while. Tingling, fullness, buzzing, slight pressure. Other than feeling odd for a time by are probably connected to the PhotoReading activity.

There haven't been any fMRI's done on PhotoReaders but I have seen some done on Dyslexic. The interesting thing is with these fMRI's is they showed where the brain activity is when someone is reading, and it is more blood flow into those regions when the brain is doing it right. So I'm willing to guess it's the blood flow you're noticing as new neural pathways are being built as your brain is sorting the information you've PhotoRead.

Drink plenty of water to keep the brain hydrated.

I kinda got a feeling that it probably is increased bloodflow and new neural pathways being formed, because I had read something on those lines somewhere.

Since you guys are the authority on photoreading, thought I might as well ask you for your opinion.

Thanks for the reply.
