"事实上,如今人们的寿命变得更长了,但在老年的时候,大脑的认知功能有了明显的下降,这可能使得未来的生活质量也随之降低."
'There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function.
"到目前为止,从未有过比这更好的一次机会,能够研究如何改善大脑功能."
'The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline.'
"这项研究的初步结果表明,3D电影或许可以在减缓这种衰退中发挥作用."
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.
实验的第二部分中,那些观看电影的参与者都带上了耳机,可以扫描他们的脑部活动,结果同样显示在观看3D电影时大脑活动加强.
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.
结果显示,参与者比平时更专注于他们所观看的电影,专注度增加了7%；支持了3D电影更像观看真实场景的说法,而来自兴奋实验室的布伦丹·沃克教授也对此表示同意.
'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点.正如研究结果显示的那样,观看3D电影会给观众带来这种强化且优质的体验,"他说道.
'In evolutionary terms, the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense,' Dr Fagan added.
"从进化论的角度来说,两部分测试的结果当然都是很有意义的,"费根博士补充道.
'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.'
"正如布伦丹·沃克（Brendan Walker ）教授的测试得出的结论那样,3D电影更能让人身临其境,强化感官感受,引起情感上的共鸣——而这,反过来又能促进大脑快速运行."
