Scientific Speed Reading: How to Read 300% Faster in 20 Minutes (Photo: Dustin Diaz) How much more could you get done if you completed all of your required reading in 1/3 or 1/5 the time? Increasing reading speed is a process of controlling fine motor movement—period. This post is a condensed overview of principles I taught to undergraduates at Princeton University in 1998 at a seminar called the “PX Project.” I have never seen the method fail. The PX Project The PX Project, a single 3-hour cognitive experiment, produced an average increase in reading speed of 386%. It was tested with speakers of five languages, and even dyslexics were conditioned to read technical material at more than 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm), or 10 pages per minute. If you understand several basic principles of the human visual system, you can eliminate inefficiencies and increase speed while improving retention. First, several definitions and distinctions specific to the reading process: You do not read in a straight line, but rather in a sequence of saccadic movements (jumps).

Tecniche di studio (12): la lettura accelerata (2/2) Tecniche di studio - Lezione n. 13 LA LETTURA ACCELERATA (seconda parte) Può essere una esperienza molto interessante osservare gli occhi di una persona normale mentre sta leggendo. Potremo constatare come il movimento degli occhi sia tutt'altro che continuo; essi si sposteranno lungo la riga stampata fermandosi ad ogni parola e spesso ritorneranno indietro, o andranno più avanti. Tutti questi movimenti sono delle chiare perdite di tempo dovute al fatto che la mente del lettore, non essendo allenata, rifugge dall'idea di dover restare sotto sutto il giogo di una lettura costante e progressiva. Anche il modo in cui il lettore torna a capo, dopo aver terminato la lettura di una riga, ricorda molto quello del carrello di una macchina da scrivere in quanto lascia la riga letta all'ultima parola per riprendere dalla prima parola della riga successiva. Se osservate gli occhi di un lettore veloce scoprirete molte differenze rispetto ad un lettore normale.

5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain... #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully. "SLEEEEEEEEEP... uh... What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? Holy Shit!
