The BBC have put up an article related to a team of University of Hull researchers whom have the task of attempting to inject science into video games development. They will do this by 'accurately' measuring the effects games have on our minds and bodies.
"We are also measuring heart rate to look at how games activate human bodies and analysing spit for hormones", said Dr Thornton.
Early signs suggest players can enter an "altered state of consciousness"
"We are hoping to be able to compare that with sportsmen and women playing physical games."
Worth a read, but some of the results so far are pretty obvious to say the least.
