just saw an infomercial for it and thought it was very interesting. Im actually going to try it out.

basically it's a program that helps you read and comprehend stuff 2-10x faster. It's like a video game that you do on computers. It takes 7 minutes every other day. I think it's pretty cool.

They gave out demos at malls and everyone who participated significantly improved their reading and comprehension skills. Just wanted to know if anyone here saw it or tried it before...

I don't know about that, but a recent study demonstrated that if you read posts by e90fleet your IQ goes up a point. If you read posts concerning oranges, it drops by two.

my ex tried something similar and it didn't work for her one bit. i'm very skeptical about shit like that, since, in most cases, it's just a placebo effect.

Seriously, though, I think we can spend hundreds of dollars to hone our cognitive skills with limited success...once you're a certain age, IQ is pretty stable. Personally, if I really think about it, I realize that I probably shave a few points off of my functional intelligence by not getting enough sleep at night....sleep doesn't even cost all that much. (Right now I'm somewhere around functionally illiterate [insert snappy comeback here]).

...must go....need coffee.....
