"Individual Differences in Visual Perception Speed Impact Performance in Competitive Activities, Study Shows"

TL;DR Summary
A small study highlighted by the Guardian suggests that people may perceive the world at different frames per second (FPS) due to variations in temporal resolution, impacting their ability to react quickly to visual stimuli. The study involved testing participants' ability to detect flickering light, revealing a wide variance in perception speeds. This finding implies that some individuals may naturally excel at fast-paced games like Fortnite due to their faster visual processing, potentially influencing the need for high refresh rate monitors and even impacting professional esports qualifications.
