Our Brains and the Future

[Chipmunk]

Yesterday I discovered this cool TEDtalk about the human brain, how we perceive reality, and how we may manipulate our experience of reality in the future. Thought I'd repost it here for kicks... stuff like this intrigues me.

The whole 'plugging in' thing may affect the future of video games as well, maybe?

I'm personally not a big fan of the whole "VR" thing... I dunno, I enjoy games, but half of it is knowing that it's a game, that's why its such good stress relief and a way to relax.

Very interesting TED talk, though. There definitely is gaming potential, if done right!

Also, does someone wanna make a TED thread? I've watched tons of them and learned a lot -- it would be great to share them with other TED enthusiasts

I'll start one I guess. I agree with what you said about knowing that it's a game though, I can imagine things getting out of hand.
