Remember the times when we were told video games rot our brains? Well, now they're helping develop them, at least according to a new study from Cognitive Science which shows spending time in Beat Saber and VR in general is a tool to "promote cognitive enhancement".
The study focuses on a sub-genre of VR games known as exergaming. These games - like Beat Saber - put the body through a more rigorous experience, akin to a workout. Virtual reality gaming was put up against shadow boxing videos in the test with VR proving to have positive effects where the SBVs had none on the 11 "young participants".
