> tl;dr. Actually no, the results will probably not surprise you. After analyzing data from 2,074 testers, we found no evidence that Bionic Reading has any positive effect on reading speed.

I've seen a lot of viral social media posts about bionic reading recently and this is the very first time I've ever seen anyone mention reading speed. Everything I've seen is selling bionic reading for greater reading comprehension and focus. Never mentions speed.

Granted the article measures reading comprehension too (though I'd have some doubts about the methodology of 3 MCQs on a PG article - this part of the test didn't seem high on the author's priority list).

Did the authors just waste a lot of their time because they didn't pay attention to the claims or are we just in very different bubbles?

giant hero section on bionic-reading.com:

title of bionic-reading.com:

"Faster. Better. More focused. Reading."

does "faster" not refer to speed to you or something?
