Back in the day, Tetris was the best way to get through pre-calc
when you finally got a sweet graphic calculator capable of
running it. Turns out, it may also be a great way to treat Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder. Who knew? Researchers at Oxford, led
by Emily Holmes, discovered that visual-spatial tasks can help
disrupt the mental imagery that is a prevalent part of PTSD
flashbacks. And what better visual-spatial task is there besides
playing Tetris? During the experiment, subjects viewed a
disturbing film then completed one of three things: answering
trivia questions, playing Tetris or doing nothing in particular.
Those who play Tetris reported far fewer flashbacks than the
other groups. No telling yet if this will work with 3-D
synchronized water droplet Tetris. Via Counsel & Heal
