Brain Can Change

There’s a newspaper article out written by some guy in Oxford that explains research has shown that the brain will actually physically change depending on the activity involved.  Example, a group of non-piano guys were sent to a room to practice for five days.  Another group sent to a room to imagine practicing for five days.  Incredibly, their brains both change to nearly the same extent as to finger manipulation.  So, what does that hold for us?

The violent game players, the first shooter types may be training themselves to be super soldiers in the future.  Also, violent race drivers may be programming themselves to be terrible drivers.  More research needs to be done.

Big question, can we begin to develop classes of people by assigning types of games to youngsters based on physical and mental proclivities?
