Learning sign language could give you super vision

Researchers have found that learning sign language can be beneficial for hearing adults too, giving them faster reaction times in their peripheral vision. Improved peripheral vision is useful in many sports and for driving, making you more alert to changes in your peripheral field of vision. The research also found that deaf adults have far better peripheral vision and reaction times than both hearing adults and hearing adults who use sign language. Researchers at the University of Sheffield have found that learning sign language can be beneficial for hearing adults too, giving them faster reaction times in their peripheral vision. The research, conducted at the University of Sheffield's Academic Unit of Opthalmology, found that adults learning a visual-spatial language such as British sign language (BSL) had a positive impact on their visual field response.
