"Enhanced Visual Perception: How Some Individuals See More Frames Per Second"

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that some people are capable of seeing the world at a higher "frame rate" than others, potentially giving them an edge in competitive gaming and sports. The research, published in PLOS ONE, found that individuals vary in their ability to perceive flickering light, indicating differences in temporal resolution. This variation could impact performance in high-speed activities such as ball sports and competitive gaming. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of this visual difference.
