"Is it possible that video games can actually help our brains? What researchers have discovered may change our future relationship with some medical treatments."
Ever since their invention, there have been debates and stigma over the impact video games have on brains. On one side, you have the fact that people are sitting stationary for a long time, which is detrimental to their overall health.On the other side, there’s the idea that video games are training the brain.
Peter Rubin, a Senior Producer at WIRED, looked into this for us all. He visited researchers, doctors, and tested his skills against a pro gamer to see what the actual effects #video_games have on our #health. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the results he came up with… and I definitely wasn’t anticipating where #video_games may take us in the future.
Have a look for yourself…
Yep! You heard it right. There are researchers working towards developing games that can enhance our everyday #brain use and can be prescribed to be used to “support treatment of brain disorders such as autism, depression, #Alzheimer’s #disease, and #more. They’re aiming to build a new type of treatment that doesn’t #involve_chemicals (most prescription medications have uncomfortable side effects) and makes it an experience that’s unique to each patient.
