Your brain on video games
Daphne Bavelier, brain scientist talks about video games

Do video games affect the eyesight?
She disproves the fact that too much screen time makes your eyesight worse. She checked in the lab the vision of the gamers and of the people who are not gamers. The results were surprising: the gamer's vision was better than the vision of the non-gamers. It turns out that gamers are able to read small letters, focus more easily while driving in a fog, and thus avoid accidents.
Active components in video games
Video games have a number of ingredients that are very powerful for the brain such as learning new things, focusing, improving vision, etc. Brain scientists are working to understand the active components in video games to leverage them to deliver better games both for education purposes and for rehabilitation of patients.
Why I choose this subject
I chose this subject because I like to play video games and I wondered if there is any effect on the brain. Many people say that spending to much time playing video games can damage our vision, attention and body. I wanted to find out if its true.
