Video games with lots of action, such as the shoot-’em-up variety, can improve your vision, a new study finds. Players became up to 58 percent better at perceiving fine contrast differences in the tests. “If you are driving at dusk with light fog it could make the difference between seeing the car in front of you or not seeing it,” study leader Daphne Bavelier told LiveScience. - LiveScience.com
