I just learned on a good news which comes from the psychiatric department of the university of Oxford. This department has just published a study according to which Tetris would have therapeutic virtues. In short, amazing! Screens tells us more: Forty participants, divided into two groups, watched a 12-minute film containing exclusively traumatic scenes. Namely, images of surgeries, car accidents and drowning. The two groups were similar in terms of age (18 to 47), gender, and emotional impact due to the images. Half an hour later, one of the two groups played ten minutes of Tetris, while the other remained quietly seated. During the following week, each volunteer kept a diary. It appeared that the group of players experienced fewer traumatic flashbacks than the others. On average, three against seven.
For Emily Holmes, “this is only the first step in the preventive approach to treatment against post-traumatic stress. » And they conclude with: Tetris, whose genius lay in the infinite construction, would therefore be an effective vaccine against psychological trauma. Let's not forget that, according to legend, Tetris is a Machiavellian invention of the Soviets, intended to turn evil capitalists into obsessive and unproductive players. Personally, I find it fascinating, unexpected and at the same time with the quantity of video games background remove service that exist, I can well imagine the pharmacividéo which recommends to you in the morning 10 minutes of Mario, 5 of difficult level tetris, and Wipeout at will ) And you, which video game could treat you?
