TL;DR Summary

New research from Trinity College Dublin suggests that some individuals have higher visual temporal resolution, allowing them to perceive visual signals at a faster rate than others. This characteristic may give pro gamers and athletes an advantage in high-speed situations, such as competitive gaming or ball sports, by providing access to more visual information per timeframe. The study found little difference in results across gender but noted a decrease in temporal resolution with age, potentially explaining why esports players and athletes retire at a young age.
