High Speed Learning

 

 

The characters in Eon are able to learn foreign languages in a matter of hours, including modern colloquialisms, by visiting the Thistledown library.  The information is input into their mind directly, bypassing any conscious activity.  This would probably be done by producing bursts of light and sound that would stimulate different parts of the brain.  Similar technology is explored in Neil Stevenson's Snow Crash, where binary viruses can enter the mind directly through the eyes.
Many people believe that they can input information directly into their mind.  Information tapes to be played during sleep have been hugely successful worldwide, as have special learning programs such as Kevin Trudeau's Mega Memory.
