Episode Details

What if seven minutes a day could change how your brain reads, remembers, and reacts? We sit down with Jeff Flam, founder of Infinite Mind, to explore how targeted eye training and high-speed reading drills reshape cognition for kids catching up and adults fighting brain fog. The story begins with Jeff’s own leap from 170 words per minute to 700+, then widens into a two-decade journey bringing deep brain training from Japan to millions worldwide.

We dig into the science with fMRI studies from Caltech and the University of Utah’s Department of Neurology, where students completed 40 sessions over two months and showed up to fifteen times more brain activity during reading. That activation lines up with real‑world wins: faster processing speed, stronger comprehension, and quicker recall. Jeff explains why the brain needs the same three pillars as the body—sleep, nutrition, exercise—and how dendrites and synapses strengthen when you push the system with structured intensity. Crosswords help a little; dynamic, visual drills deliver the big gains.

The conversation also tackles cost and access. Many people spend hundreds each month on supplements without feeling a difference. Infinite Mind Brain Exercises offers a free entry point that teaches the core mechanics, plus a $10/month premium tier that adapts as you improve, tracks progress, and uses game design to keep you engaged. From kids whose reading slipped during COVID to adults experiencing “senior moments,” the method stays the same: short, consistent sessions that train your intake pipeline and bring those mental “files” back within quick reach. Try the app, measure your speed and comprehension, and see how your focus changes over the next few weeks.
