Generally, practicing moving only your hands (and really only 3 fingers at most usually on each hand) and flicking your eyes around doesn't contribute to quick reflexes or strength in the rest of your body. I somehow doubt that being able to react quickly in an first person shooter would really have helped him move his entire body quickly in response to a threat. More than likely he's just got quick reflexes anyway. All that article does is make him look like an extreme geek with no hold on reality.

I am pretty sure he holds his own reality all the time.🙂
 
I would say that the games help reduce a person's &quot;shock&quot; when something extreme happens. Action game players seem to be more capable of simply acting on a situation instead of hesitating. I believe it.

True but you got to admit, you do have quick reflexes of the mind thus the mind controls the body and it sort of fits.
 
well yeah we're so used to having our senses constantly asulted with different things we react quickly, ill hear noised from behind me and scroll down a bit to where the enemy base is and then i realize im not at a pc and i've been frisked again by my gf, /sarcasm, but it does help ya know seeing people get blown to bits in games and learning to not panic when hearing gunfire explosions. .yadda yadda .. .
 
Hahha counter-strike is the ultimate training, lol. If i am ever in a situation where terrorists are trying to plant a bomb at two bomb sites, i'll know what to do, lol.
 
I believe that it caused his brain to react faster, it just depends on how well his body interacts with his brain. 😉

I'm not really sure whether computer gaming helps reflexes or if it trains you to respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner only in games- because I would hope that is the only place that those stimuli are occurring! 😉

But what if you get to the bomb and there's no &quot;Use&quot; button on it?
