Brain Sees Violent Video Games as Real Life - Study

Reuters, June 22, 2005

The brains of players of violent video games react as if the violence were real, a study has suggested.

It found that as violence became imminent, the cognitive parts of the brain became active and that during a fight, emotional parts of the brain were shut down.

It suggests that video games are training the brain to react with this pattern.

Mnie to nie przekonuje. Wiadomo, że emocje powinny być silne - inaczej nie ma zadowolenia. I nie widzę różnicy względem filmu. Reakcje mózgu są też podobne, jak w RL. Niemniej tylko psychopaci nie odróżniają filmu (i gry) od RL.
