Ok, I can totally see where you're coming from. I am on my way to med school in 2 years and I know what is expected. I don't see, however, a reason to give up the process. My suggestion would be to superread and dip more than once or twice and make more detailed mind maps so you do get the information you need. Paul Sheele, I think, has done (and participated in) numerous studies of how the brain works. I do believe that they determined that the "subconscious" part of the brain is a part of the right half. Now, I'm no brain expert, but after I am finished PRing a book, the right side of my brain does feel tired and often sore. That's enough evidence for me to know that it works. As far as someone doing an EEG to see if it really does work, I really don't know but if it is/was done, I think it would be interesting to see the results.
