Cognitive Labs Science: E3 Study

individuals. To test this hypothesis, we hosted a LAN party at E3 in Los Angeles. Twenty two gamers aged between 22 and 35 were conducted to a secure facility and immediately entered into competition using Halo2 as a stimulus. After appoximately 90 minutes of competition, the play was suspended and the player rankings were logged. At the same workstations, user experience was immediately toggled over to the Cognitive Labs working memory and recall games featuring speed of processing measures. The top quartile scored at or above the 99.9th percentile compared to 'norms' for all users. The second quartile scored above the 97th percentile, The third above 95th and the fourth above 93. Data from four respondents who became distracted was not included. The results suggest that gamers are indeed faster. Other studies posit an age-adjusted differential of up to 100 milliseconds in response time. Some researchers such as Ryutu Kawashima (Nintendo BrainAge) in his writings in Japanese suggest that violent action games excessively stimulate the frontal lobe, though there is no empirical data to support this. The data shows that intense workouts can improve cognitive speed at any age, which is a measure that links very closely to life expectancy in several independent studies, notably those of Ian Drury. Those with the fastest brains live longest. go back to research
