On this week's episode of The People's Scientist podcast, I wanted to do a positive and light hearted episode during this time when we may be feeling stressed, anxious, and isolated during the COVID19 outbreak. So I provide some ideas on things we can do while stuck at home such as achieving our forgotten goals and also video games. The impact of video games on mental health has been controversial. But overall, the clinical trials on video games illustrate a benefit with moderate use. Some benefits include: enhanced social interaction, improved learning, rehabilitation, enhanced brain reward recruitment, neuroplasticity, and more. Tune in for all the details.
