Has anyone else seen the program for EyeQ?

I'm not a representative nor any kind of sponsor of EyeQ. Just wondering if any of the members of this board have ever come across EyeQ from http://www.infmind.com/company/default.htm

Seems similiar to PhotoReading from the online demo. Having completed the PhotoReading course, the EyeQ program seems to reinforce the concept of widening the depth of vision with the EyeQ exercises.

sounds like crap!
I did the 7-minute-test, and the program basically teaches you to move your eyballs faster over the page!
For $250, you get much better content in the Photoreading PLC!
I mean, it's "just" speed reading, and extremely expensive at that ...
But judge for yourself; the limited trials may be worth a try if you've got the money ... (looks like there's a lot of boring exercise and practice involved)

cheers

Yes, I confess! I bought EyeQ! What do I think? I think the eye exercises help to widen the focus. It is regular speed reading in that it moves the eyeballs faster. If I had to pick between EyeQ and Photoreading, I would take Photoreading hands down. (The EyeQ people were also very pushy with me, sales wise, trying to upsell me on rush delivery and other stuff. I like buying stuff, not being sold. Be prepared when you call their number, that the price on TV is for one user only. The multi-user price is alot more! Tell them upfront that all you want is the program offered and that if they try to upsell you that they won't get the sale at all!!!)

Pff! Will you people please quit talking about these lousy programs and trying to compare them to PR? PhotoReaders are Jedi, and these other programs are families more poor than Luke's on the Outer Rim.

Why don't you guys get EyeQ for free through Napster? Then, you can decide if its better than Pring or not.

Napster? *Squints in confusion.* Didn't they sort of get beaten to a bloody pulp?

There are other file-sharing systems out there. Downloads.com has them in a catagory.

Time to play the broken record...

SuperReading resembles speed reading. The important difference is InfoDumping creates the basis for intuitions about where to STOP SuperReading and start Dipping.

Here's one very minor example from my own life. I PhotoRead a book on the Medieval origins of the modern state. Although this book is split into three main sections (plus an introduction and an index), there is no table of contents. This is probably because the three sections have no titles, other than I, II and III. Although section I starts on the first page, my previewing could not find the sections for II and III. After doing an InfoDump, I was immediately able to flip open the book and find those two sections. Upon performing manual activation of the book, I was also to find where those sections break into unmarked subsections. (This was usually denoted by a blank line between paragraphs), and follow the Train of Logic the author used.

But what I'm really trying to say is, doing the page-a-second thing (InfoDumping) is really the meat behind PhotoReading. This is why you get 60-70% comprehending from 4-11% activation, instead of about 4-11% comprehension.... you KNOW which 4-11% you NEED to look at.

Sorry, Could I ask a silly question ? What is "InfoDump" ? Is it a skill or technique ? Thank you for your information.





Posted By: Kaiden Re: PhotoReading VS EyeQ - 12/16/02 03:45 PM
InfoDump? I picked up the term from a friend who I demonstrated PhotoReading to. Instead of saying "The PhotoReading Step of the PhotoReading Whole Mind System," I call it InfoDumping. It seemed to make more sense, because "PhotoReading" could mean a certain step within the PhotoReadng Whole Mind System, or it could mean the entire system with all the steps used in conjunct.

Oh, I see. Thank you for your answer.
