The Secret of High Dynamic Vision Revealed: Some People Are Born with a “Sharingan”
A recent study published in the scientific journal network “PLOS ONE” has shed light on the concept of dynamic vision – the speed at which the brain processes visual information. The study, conducted by Clinton Haarlem and his team at Trinity College Dublin, focused on the frame per second (FPS) or frame rate per second, which affects how quickly individuals respond to changes in their environment.
According to the research, some individuals are born with a higher FPS, allowing them to see the world with greater clarity and speed. These individuals, referred to as having a “Sharingan” in reference to a popular manga and anime series, have been found to have advantages in high-speed activities and competitive game performance.
The study involved placing LED lights and electronic devices in an opaque black box and using black frame goggles to measure dynamic vision. The results showed that some participants were able to perceive the flashing of the device at a frequency of 60 times per second, while others could only detect a frequency of 35 times per second.
Kevin Mitchell, associate professor of neurobiology and co-author of the study, highlighted the importance of these findings, stating that the average person may naively believe that everyone sees the world in the same way. However, the research shows clear differences in the perception speeds of individuals.
The implications of these findings extend beyond just high-speed activities and games. Elite athletes and professional e-sports players may have a higher image resolution per second, giving them an advantage in positioning or tracking high-speed movements. These individuals may have a natural edge in competitive environments where rapid visual processing is crucial.
While practice can improve reaction times, dynamic vision is believed to be innate and potentially influenced by genetic factors. Clinton Haarlem emphasized that more research is needed to understand these differences and how they are related to the brain’s processing of visual information.
In conclusion, the study has unlocked the secrets of dynamic vision and revealed that some individuals are inherently gifted with a higher perception speed. The implications of these findings could have far-reaching effects in various fields where quick and accurate visual processing is essential.
