That says a lot about our natural inference abilities. It's amazing that we can extract words from millisecond glances and probabilistic intelligence.

Seems to me that they tried to help people with this for a speed reading course I took about a score of years ago. Pretty cool

The human brain is more advanced than we could imagine. Seems that we all have an natural nack for deciphering...

Wonder if this research will help those with dyslexia or make it worse?

...Does that mean that dyslexic people no longer have an excuse to stop learning by reading books?...


Seriously though, I know that a dyslexic person sees either different letters or different positioning of letters (In extreme cases, both problems are manifest at the same time) at different times, even while looking at the same text. Basically, even if the results of that study are true, it doesn't help a dyslexic person figure it out any easier...
