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.
