Those Hands, Those Eyes...That Coordination
I don't know why this pleases me - probably because so many traditionalists complain about the evils of videogames. But a new study shows video game playing is good for surgeons.
I love human adaptability.

Statistics says n=30 is the magic number. How magic, I don't recall; my statistics work was many years ago.

Not to burst any video bubbles, but this study was only done with 33 people. So, how many surgeons are there in the world? How many of them do laparoscopic surgery? I want to see a better sampling of that population before I believe those findings really are true or not. Would be nice, though . . .
