(Medical Xpress)—A trio of researchers with the University of Chicago, the University of San Francisco and the University of Virginia has found via experimentation that people watching video of actions by other people in slow motion tend to have a distorted view of perceived intent. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Eugene Caruso, Zachary Burns and Benjamin Converse outline their experiments with volunteers, what they found and why they now believe that the use of slow motion video as evidence in court cases and by officials at sporting events should be changed.
