Want to improve your gaming performance?

Good news!! A team of researchers from the MEMORY Lab at McGill University has shown for the first time that exercising for only 15 minutes before gaming can improve in-game performance and accuracy. This short bout of exercise was enough to boost video game performance, regardless of fitness level or feelings about exercise. The article was reported on by CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/league-of-legends-study-cardio-improves-video-game-performance.html) after it was published last month in one of the world’s leading journals on Sports Medicine: Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. If you have any questions about this new realm of research, reach out!

Now, the group of researchers wants to hear from gamers first hand. As such we would very much appreciate if you could help us fill this 5min questionnaire:

Effective neurorehabilitation interventions which are patient-oriented can improve recovery after stroke and reduce neurodegeneration in people diagnosed with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease.

In the Memory Lab, we explore novel ways to administer neurorehabilitation intervention. Our research projects include the use of high-intensity cardiovascular exercise but also non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to improve or maintain cognitive well-being as well as mobility.
