囧研究：看3D電影會讓你變聰明

Paying over the odds for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the bane of many a cinema-goer's life.
爲了一張3D電影票而節衣縮食，省吃儉用，這是許多電影愛好者生活中的一大痛楚。

But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.
不過這樣做也是有好處的，研究發現3D電影能使腦部得到鍛鍊，提高大腦的短期反應能力，與大腦操練題集起到相似的效果。

The research found that people who watched a movie in 3D had improved cognitive skills compared to those who watched it in 2D.
研究發現觀看3D電影的人在認知能力上有所提高，而觀看2D電影的人則沒有表現出這一發展。

More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or 3D.
超過100人蔘與了這項實驗，參與者都觀看了迪士尼出品的電影《超能陸戰隊》，有的觀看了標準的二維版 ，有的則觀看了3D版 。

They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a segment from the test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive function, and the results were subsequently compared.
在觀看電影片段的前後，他們都接受了大腦技能測試，測試的形式與大腦操練題集類似，測試項目包括記憶力，反應速度和認知功能，研究人員隨後將兩組數據進行了對比。

According to the research participants experienced a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 per cent increase in reaction times. Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future.
研究結果顯示，參與者的認知能力提升了23%，在反應速度上提升了11%。 費根醫生稱，實驗結果證明，3D電影能改善大腦功能，在未來可以作爲一種強化大腦技能的重要手段。
