It surely explains that 10,000 pixel stare, and the extremly fast twitch muscles in their mousing hand apparent in most avid FPS gamers. :)

The article fails to make the link between gaming (e.g. Chess) and improvements in higher brain function. While the criticism is valid that video gaming is physically non-taxing, I think it is more mentally challenging (participatory) than watching the TV. Certainly, a combination of physical and mental training is ideal. It would be interesting to make a study of how avid FPS conditioned people fare in a complex, fast action task. For instance, flying a fighter jet.
