Brain activity about super skill of video game master

Abstract

The present study investigated the neural activation pattern at the prefrontal region during learning a novel video game task by a highly-skilled game player. We measured brain activity, performance, and hand movement during playing a video game using fNIRS and video camera. The results demonstrated clear decreases in brain activity as well as the amount of finger and hand movements during playing the game with training. These findings would reflect the acquisition of more efficient movement patterns during playing the video game.
