I think you'd do well in the music industry as a producer. -- Seth Peck (talk) 21:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Love 'em. Thanks for expounding on the things I don't understand (EEG, etc). -- Seth Peck (talk) 21:49, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

electro-encephalogram. Measures brain stuff. Actually, Nebuchadnezzar was who I had in mind for this article when I first proposed it. This stuff's what he does for a living or something.--User:Brxbrx/sig 21:54, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

No prob -- this "research" is about as atrociously designed as they come. It's about one step above ThetaHealing. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, cool, I certainly don't mind starting the ball rolling if it means an expert comes in and cleans it up. -- Seth Peck (talk) 22:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Maybe a bit about the media hype, if anybody except me wants to take a stab at it--User:Brxbrx/sig 22:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Games and health

It should also include the proven effects of games and physical health. Everyone knows that sitting down for hours at a time, playing WoW, is not good for your heart, and motor muscles. Any thoughts Pal?70.68.142.98 (talk) 17:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like an agenda-driven question to me. Sitting down for hours at a time watching television would be equally unhealthy. At least playing games engages critical thought processes, problem solving techniques, improves muscle memory and fires stimulus-response reflex movements. A social game like WoW requires communication and conversation between players as well, which improves speech function and multitasking capabilities, suggesting a more complex brain activity (some people can't even talk on their cellphone while simultaneously walking without tripping). Watching television does none of these additional things—furthermore, people engaged in brain-inactive activities like watching television have slower heart and breathing rates, as well as a more sluggish metabolism, than anyone whose brains are actively playing games. "Everyone" knows this. -- Seth Peck (talk) 18:20, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Possible validity

London taxi drivers' brains change to accommodate 'The Knowledge', and there are various other examples - so 'a grain of truth developed into a candyfloss of supposition.' 82.44.143.26 (talk) 15:43, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
