> reaction time All the same I would imagine (I am _JUST_ responding to reaction time). A programme investigated Michael Schumacher, racing driver, 6 times Formula 1 champion on this very topic. They proved that his reaction times weren't any better than any other human. So why is he better racing driver than most others? What they managed to show was that Michael was picking up visual clues earlier than others and so it _appeared_ that he had faster reaction times. I am not a great fan of his, but is renowned to be a thinker on the circuit. For example, steering his car so it deliberately goes through a patch of water, to cool his tires. He knows that in 30 mins, the circuit will be hotter due to the sun. It could be that the top fps gamers are "noticing" changes in shadows, background sounds, light changes and alter their paths accordingly. Stephen Howe
