Focussed on digital game based solutions to human problems. Especially interested in learning games that create value for large groups of people in need. Be it Intellectual, Emotional or Physical this new iteration of the Oosphere is emerging finally.
This helps me keep track of and share what I've found in my polymath perambulations.
Very interesting. We did an interview with a neuroscientist that explains this trend very well, with quotes such as
"Rigorous and targeted cognitive training has been used in clinical practice for many years. It can help improve memory, attention, confidence and competence, reasoning skills, even how to reduce anxiety and deal with uncomfortable situations." and "The brain evolves as we age. Some areas, such as pattern recognition, get better with age. Some require extra-workouts in order to reduce “chinks in the armor” and increase neuroprotection through the Cognitive (or Brain) Reserve). Hence, the need for targeted cognitive training."
