Tetris helps treat psychological trauma and eliminate negative emotions

Recently, a study has claimed that playing Tetris can eliminate your negative emotions and get you back on your feet. In academic terms, Russian squares can be used to repair post-traumatic stress disorder, such as trauma after a soldier's war, watching horror movies, accidents, etc.　　Soldiers who have been involved in war often have terrible memories in their minds, and by playing Tetris, the war memory in the soldiers ' minds will be reduced (or not remembered).　　In a test by Emily Holmes, a researcher at Oxford University, after presenting a variety of disgusting photos to volunteers, they were allowed to play Tetris again, allowing them to quickly forget the nausea. Emily Holmes that playing games can be a quick distraction or even an intrusion into people's memories, which may be the key to solving the problem.　　The game experience invades our memory, so that the terrible memories such as war, horror pictures can not occupy our brain, so the effect of repairing post-traumatic stress disorder is achieved. However, the researchers also found that the text-based decryption game "Pub quiz Machine 2008" can increase the unpleasant flashback. In two separate trials, the researchers asked healthy volunteers to watch the shocking video, which included images showing the dangers of drink driving, which were commonly used in laboratories to study post-traumatic effects (PTSD). In the first experiment, 30 minutes after watching the video, 20 volunteers played Tetris for 10 minutes, and 20 volunteers played pub quiz for 10 minutes, and 20 people did nothing. Playing Tetris rarely recalls the unpleasant picture, but playing pub quiz experience more flashback. The second Test, after 4 hours of watching the video, was exactly the same. The researchers speculate that Tetris is based on images, and pub quiz is based on text, the brain processes images and forms traumatic memory channels may be the same, so the game can interfere with the formation of traumatic memory; The text decryption game emphasizes context, so the game process enhances the traumatic memory, resulting in more flashbacks.
