As to the facts, our minds can read faster than our eyes. Our mind can recognize the texts without even reading them by just looking at the first and last letter of the word to see if they are placed correctly. Bionic Reading is based on a similar fact, which bolds/highlights the first few letters of the word so that our eyes only read the highlighted letters, but our mind understands the whole word.
