Perceptual learning training improves vision

http://www.cell.com/current-biology/retrieve/pii/S0960982214000050

Professor Aaron Seitz, Professor Daniel Ozer , and Jenni Deveau at UC Riverside combined perceptual learning approaches to determine if improvements gained from an integrated, perceptual learning based training program would transfer to real world tasks. They found that  the brain-training technique significantly improved the vision of baseball players.

Before the start of the 2013 NCAA Division 1 baseball season, 19 baseball players completed thirty 25 minute sessions of a vision training video game.  18 team members received no training.  Players who participated in the training saw a 31 percent improvement in visual acuity — some gaining as much as two lines on the Snellen eye chart — and greater sensitivity to contrasts in light.  The researchers claim that the trained players had 4.4 percent fewer strikeouts and scored 41 more runs during the season.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching
to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has
a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced
but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the
internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques
to help prevent content from being ripped off?

I’d definitely appreciate it.
