Image Source: YouTube Get off my case, Mom, I’m improving my brain functions by playing this game. Neuroscientists at the University of Carolina recently finished the latest study in findings on multitasking through videogames. They reported that participants in the study who trained by playing Neuroracer, a videogame in which players drive and must identify road signs, performed better on memory and attention tests outside the game for six months. The researchers monitored the brain waves of participants and found the older adults who played Neuroracer had increases in theta brain waves, which are associated with attention. Comparatively, adults in […]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/591/591637.png
