"事實上,如今人們的壽命變得更長了,但在老年的時候,大腦的認知功能有了明顯的下降,這可能使得未來的生活質量也隨之降低."
'There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function.
"到目前為止,從未有過比這更好的一次機會,能夠研究如何改善大腦功能."
'The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline.'
"這項研究的初步結果表明,3D電影或許可以在減緩這種衰退中發揮作用."
A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D.
實驗的第二部分中,那些觀看電影的參與者都帶上了耳機,可以掃描他們的腦部活動,結果同樣顯示在觀看3D電影時大腦活動加強.
According to the results, participants were seven per cent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life - something Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with.
結果顯示,參與者比平時更專注于他們所觀看的電影,專注度增加了7%；支持了3D電影更像觀看真實場景的說法,而來自興奮實驗室的布倫丹·沃克教授也對此表示同意.
'A seven per cent rise in emotional engagement is extremely noteworthy. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,' he said.
"情感投入上增加7%是非常值得注意的一點.正如研究結果顯示的那樣,觀看3D電影會給觀眾帶來這種強化且優質的體驗,"他說道.
'In evolutionary terms, the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense,' Dr Fagan added.
"從進化論的角度來說,兩部分測試的結果當然都是很有意義的,"費根博士補充道.
'As Professor Brendan Walker's test concluded, 3D films are more immersive, heighten the senses and induce emotional arousal - this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds.'
"正如布倫丹·沃克（Brendan Walker ）教授的測試得出的結論那樣,3D電影更能讓人身臨其境,強化感官感受,引起情感上的共鳴——而這,反過來又能促進大腦快速運行."
