August 20, 2001 on 6:49 pm | In Main |Here is a sensationalistic article that has been around the internet this weekend: Computer games stunt teen brains. If we ignore the hype and look at the facts of this experiment, playing video games uses a different part of the brain than when performing arithematic exercises. The conclusion that video games lead to violence because of this is absurd. The expirement, while interesting, do not show any cause and effect. What would be more interesting would be to study brain usage while watching TV or even reading a book, and then comparing to video games. I hope this scientist is ridiculed by his colleagues.
