What is the Straight Dope on this thing? I can only assume that it is for the most part a load of crap but reading the site I couldn’t actually even figure out exactly what they claimed you were doing. Best I can tell they are claiming by seeing words in your peripheral vision for less than a second you can get a clear understanidng of the overall text.
Does anyone know of anyone attempting to gain any sort of empirical data on this subject?
I saw the informercial on this once and watched out of shock/boredom/humor (making fun of it with my brother at 3am was great fun). The guy is just turning the pages with out stoppping and claiming he has a good understanding of what he just read.
Please Dopers don’t let me down in tearing this thing apart.
