  • Im very interested in why the guy 'hugo' started looking around his circle from the right.. I just wish i knew what that was about..

  • @streakfunken Hi, I most probably started looking around the circle from the top right thinking on the position 1 of the clock!

  • The guide for reading is a "YES!"? I don't get it.

  • That is a "yes"! The guide helps you follow the reading in a more fluid pace.

  • so what kind of guide that we need to have when we read? :)

  • One of the best guides for reading is the index finger, at the beginning you will try to synchronize the movements of your eyes with the movement of your finger, it just takes practice.

  • @mrdirtydead Fine fine,but just curious i guess :)

  • @streakfunken does it have an effect on the experiment?? No it doesnt...

  • @dreamingWisdom cz ur stupid

  • @vanderpant2116 A tip would be to bite your finger so that you stop subvocalisation (and all decoding process/pronunciation that use unecessary ressources) to let your brain focus at the task of understanding the material.

  • I'm sure speed reading works wonders for non-fiction. But how about poetry and poetic prose novels? Can you read a novel by Martin Amis with these speed reading techniques? Can you really appreciate Amis's prose?

  • This seems similar to the drawing methods described in "The Natural Way to Draw" by the late Kimon Nikolades. One method was that the eye followed the contours of an object so closely and sensitively, it felt as if the pen "touched" the item's edges. I don't know if it is the same as the guide described by Mr. Buzan, but it feels the same. Thank you for the very interesting and informative video.
