Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Reaction Accuracy
Reaction Accuracy as assessed by change in the accuracy score for the video game (Call of Duty) as compared to the placebo
Reaction Time
Reaction Time as assessed by change in the time to response using stroop effect as compared to the placebo

Secondary Outcome Measures

TIME
Time taken to complete the mission for the video game (Call of Duty) as compared to the placebo
Stanford Sleepiness Scale
Perceived Alertness after video game assessed by change in Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) after video game session, as compared to that of placebo Higher the score is the worst outcome and lowest the score is the better outcome.
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory mental domain scores
Mental fatigue as assessed by change in Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) mental domain scores at the end of the video game, as compared to the placebo The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument designed to measure fatigue. It covers the following dimensions: General Fatigue, Physical Fatigue, Mental Fatigue, Reduced Motivation and Reduced Activity. This tool has been tested for its psychometric properties in individuals receiving radiotherapy, those with the chronic fatigue syndrome, psychology students, medical students, army recruits and junior physicians
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory physical domain scores
Physical fatigue as assessed by change in Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) physical domain score at the end of the video game, as compared to the placebo The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument designed to measure fatigue. It covers the following dimensions: General Fatigue, Physical Fatigue, Mental Fatigue, Reduced Motivation and Reduced Activity. This tool has been tested for its psychometric properties in individuals receiving radiotherapy, those with the chronic fatigue syndrome, psychology students, medical students, army recruits and junior physicians
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) motivation domain scores
Intrinsic motivation for video gaming as assessed by change in the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) motivation domain scores after game session, as compared to placebo. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument designed to measure fatigue. It covers the following dimensions: General Fatigue, Physical Fatigue, Mental Fatigue, Reduced Motivation and Reduced Activity. This tool has been tested for its psychometric properties in individuals receiving radiotherapy, those with the chronic fatigue syndrome, psychology students, medical students, army recruits and junior physicians
