According to the latest research from the prestigious journal PLOS ONE, a very small percentage of the global population can perceive the world at a higher “frame rate” than others.
You may not believe it, but this is 100% true. The latest study from the renowned journal PLOS ONE reveals that a very small fraction of the global population can view the world at a “frame rate” superior to that of others. This extraordinary ability is referred to as “refresh rate sensitivity” or “motion sensitivity”. Individuals who possess this superpower can perceive and process information from visual stimuli much faster than the average person.

Characteristics of Individuals with This Ability
- Quick Reaction: They can respond swiftly to visual stimuli and movements.
- High Sensitivity: Their eyes can detect image details at higher speeds.
- Good Adaptation to Living and Working Environments: They tend to adapt well to dynamic environments, such as sports, driving, or motion effects in video games.
Superiority in Sports and Gaming
- Sports: Individuals with this ability have an advantage in sports that require rapid reaction and movement recognition, such as soccer, baseball, and extreme sports.
- Video Games: In games that demand quick reflexes and motion processing, such as first-person shooters (FPS) or racing games, they may have an edge over other players.
How to Test and Detect
Currently, there is no precise method to test or measure the ability to see the world at a high frame rate. However, conducting visual and reaction time tests can help determine the sensitivity and responsiveness of the eyes.
Causes
The exact mechanism behind this ability is still not well understood. However, it may relate to how the eyes and brain process and comprehend information from visual stimuli and motion.
