News: Nike's New Glasses Enhance Memory!

Yes, you read that title right, these glasses "enhance memory"

The Nike Sparq Vapor Strobes are glasses that work  by blocking vision using a strobe or flicker effect, so that the athlete can have quick reaction times and motor skills. The strobe effect is when the glasses switch from blocked to regular (clear) vision.
"The system is already proving effective. Two recent studies* showed that training with the Nike SPARQ Vapor Strobes improved:
1) The ability to pick up subtle motion cues
2) Visual information processing
3) Timing of motion "-Nike Inc.

It was reported that after taking off the eyewear, the athletes who were testing these glasses had a boost in visual memory.


But don't get too excited, these glasses cost $300. So basically, your going to need lots of birthday money to save up for these.

    1. I agree. I think these glasses are very odd looking and think that it is a waste of time and money. I'm not a fan of Nike anyways
