Video Game Claimed Can Cure Autism
Playing games is not always have bad effect. In fact, by playing video game, it is claimed can help children who have autism to recover.
This is what researchers from University of Missouri said. Video game that can help children with autism is called “Space Race”. While playing this game, the children are asked to launch a rocket that is on the screen. The aim is to practice some parts of their brain to concentrate.
As quoted from TheInquirer, this curing process is called neurofeedback and done by sticking a censor in head skin. Concentration level will be measured with feedback audio visual that is displayed in the monitor, while brain activity will be displayed in other monitor.
With this process, we can discover that broken parts or dead parts of the brain can be fixed and reactivated. This game can also be used for brain trauma therapy, stroke, depression, alcoholic, or PMS.
