The improvement in reaction time was five times that experienced by participants who had been watching a 2D movie.\u201cThese findings are more significant than you might think,\u201d said Fagan. \u201cIt is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age, which can impair future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2015\/may\/21\/watching-3d-movies-helps-improve-brain-power\">Watching 3D movies &#8216;helps improve brain power&#8217; | Film | The Guardian<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the research by Goldsmiths University neuroscientist Patrick Fagan and Professor Brendan Walker of Thrill Laboratory, participating filmgoers showed a 23% increase in cognitive processing ability after watching a movie in stereoscope.
