In a small study, they compared surgeons who played video games at least 3 hours a week to those who have never played. In their experiment, video gamers made 37% fewer errors and worked 27% faster.
The video was made by Sciencentral. I’ve already subscribed to their Youtube feed. I encourage you to do the same.
Anyway, I hope I’ll have time to see some results from similar experiments during the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference in the last days of January.
