Video Games Affect On Pulse Rate

Video Games Affect On Pulse Rate

The purpose of this experiment is to find out if video games affect your pulse rate.
I predict that the more intense the game is, the higher the pulse rate will be. I believe this because in an intense game, you can get real nervous which would cause you to push the buttons very fast.
