Despite having attempted a number of times (I've had the course 3 yrs), I haven't managed to prove to myself the validity of the "unconsious" learning etc involved in the photoreading state.
I wrote an article for my pupils 2 yrs ago called structured reading-it was a 4 page document for 3 private pupils covering stuff I knew would help. Mainly layered studying of books, mind mapping, looking for keywords and review periods.
It misses out "alpha" states and stuff like that because I simply cannot prove it. So far I've photoread about 35 books, some several times. I know I have the photofocus working fine-especially when I sussed out magic eye pics and peripheral vision.
The reason I'm writing here? Well I'm really keen to talk to new photoreaders about their experiences and how well the photoreading part itself works for them, hence my interest in limo's post.
I've read some pessimistic skeptic stuff on photoreading recently-from memletics and a link off their site selling supermemo. However they too are selling things so the information is suspect. :-).
Anyway, anyone who's had it work in their own lives, and they are fairly new(ish) to it. I'd be interested to hear what effects you've had.
Regards
