Taking aim with a virtual sniper rifle or rocket launcher in a first-person shooter game can improve vision, according to researchers at the University of Rochester.
People who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their ability in a visual acuity test by about 20 per cent, said Daphne Bavelier, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
"Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information," said Bavelier, whose research will appear next week in the journal Psychological Science.
"After just 30 hours, players showed a substantial increase in the spatial resolution of their vision, meaning they could see figures like those on an eye chart more clearly, even when other symbols crowded in."
Chriso must have really good vision :crazy:
