More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive(认知)function, and the results were subsequently compared. According to the research, participants experienced a 23 percent increase in cognitive skills, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction times. 　　Professor Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can impair future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline, ”he said. 　　A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with it. “Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show, ”he said. “In evolutionary terms, the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense, ”Professor Fagan added. 　　As Professor Brendan Walker’s test concluded, 3D films are more immersive, and heighten the senses—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds. 【文章大意】本文属于说明文, 主要介绍了3D电影可以锻炼大脑, 使人变得更聪明。 1.
