gaming as research

Gaming technology collaborating to brain science development and improvement.

Brown University created the first wireless, implantedbrain-computer interface. In the future could help people with Parkinson’s disease or others neurological problems.

People are using their bodies like computers. They’re collecting data on the “inputs and outputs” of their bodies to optimize physical and mental performance.
