[QUOTE="zCexVe, post: 4245152, member: 3878"] [B]Author:[/B] Georgina Graham [B]Published:[/B] 30th March 2009 [IMG]http://images.bit-tech.net/news_images/2009/03/studies-show-fps-games-improves-vision/article_img.jpg[/IMG] According to a new study, FPS games can actually improve the contrast sensitivity of players. A study has found that gamers' contrast sensitivity vision improves when playing FPS games. Contrast sensitivity is the body's response to a change in visionary situations, enabling you for example, to see in the dark or read. Like everything else it degrades in old age, but a new neuroscience study has shown that this may not be the case for avid gamers who enjoy a good gunfight. According to leading researcher, Professor Daphne Bavelier of Rochester University "[I]This is not a skill that people were supposed to get better at by training. It was something that we corrected for at the level of the optics of the eye – to get better contrast detection you get glasses or laser surgery.[/I]" So, after hooking a group of gamers for more than 50 hours on [URL="http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2008/11/15/call-of-duty-world-at-war/1"][I]Call of Duty[/I][/URL], and another group on an non-violent game, results showed that the vision of those who played [I]Call of Duty[/I] had improved by 43 percent.
