Seems every time we turn around, doctors and scientist find new positive benefits using 3D technology. Even with those silly glasses.
Researchers from San Francisco found that the adult brain can be trained to enhance cognitive performance through the use of 3D video games.
Scientists from UC San Francisco — led by Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, UCSF associate professor of neurology, physiology and psychiatry and director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center — used a 3D car racing video game to train the brain in cognitive areas such as working memory and sustained attention. They wanted to see if training would have long-term results in cognitive performance.
The team took a group of 60- to 85-year-old participants and had them play 12 hours of the car racing video game (which was developed by the UCSF researchers) over a period of one month.
The game— NeuroRacer. This game [Keep reading…]
