For the brilliant stars: usage is the stimulus that keeps on giving. Repetition of use stimulates the connections (links) between the Dendrites (receivers) in your brain cells (neurons). Afterwards they run your programs on autopilot.

There is a major difference on how the brain reacts to playing videos based on the users past experience (12 months) of playing violent or non-violent games, and seeing nutty movies of mass murder. The more violent games and DVDs in their personal history, the stronger their amygdala works to easily arouse powerful emotions in the player.

Where is the connection between Speedlearning and Video Games?

Answer: the greater your knowledge of how your brain works, the easier you can implement tripling your reading speed and doubling your memory.

Corny, but true – information is only potential power. Potential becomes actual when information is converted into knowledge through practical usage. Our economy values ideas and inventions that improve life; we all do. It is called Know-How and the Electronic Age.

Indiana University has an ongoing research program on the difference between violent video games and entertaining but non-violent games. It started in 2002 at the School of Medicine by Vincent P. Mathews M.D. and W.G. Kronenberger, M.D.

So What

How they prove their research is important; they wire up the players to an fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imagery) scan. The results capture the activities of specific brain structures as both violent and non-violent games are played.

Violent games activate a part of your brain called the amygdala, located in the Limbic System of your right brain. It directly runs our emotions through our Sympathetic Nervous System producing Adrenaline (epinephrine) and Dopamine.

Remember, your right brain contains the emotional controls and pattern recognition skills required for playing both violent and non-violent videos. It is not black or white; you need skills of your right brain for both kinds of videos. What you do not need is a runaway amygdala.

Left Brain

Non-violent games activate a different structure located on your left brain, specifically called the prefrontal cortex. This structure controls your attention, concentration and self-control. It is the executive functions of logic, order and reason. Wait. Non-violent videos do not turn on your right-brain amygdala.

These games are operated by our Parasympathetic Nervous System producing Acetylcholine, the hormone of relaxation, not adrenaline and its feelings of kill or be killed and fight-or-flight.

Profound Fact: hardwiring in your brain comes from repetition activity or thought over a period of time. What happens is a creation of a habit that goes on autopilot. Use it or lose it is a brain reality, and so is non-use produces atrophy, death through disuse.

Mentally underline this: the greater your usage of a brain program, the stronger it becomes. Can you memorize this? Neurons that fire together, wire together; they strengthen the long term neural pathways in your brain.

For the brilliant stars: usage is the stimulus that keeps on giving. Repetition of use stimulates the connections (links) between the Dendrites (receivers) in your brain cells (neurons). Afterwards they run your programs on autopilot.

How does this modify personality and change life outside of video game playing?

The results are not conclusive, but they indicate a powerful warning. It is not viewing or playing a random game or movie that causes an adolescent to find a automatic weapon to destroy twenty of his favorite tormentors in school.

It is the constant stimuli and mental diet of violence that causes a loss of reality between a game and live humans. How much? It is estimated the average teenager spends up to 5 hours daily on the computer, TV and Video Games. Multiply by an average of six days weekly, and in fifty-two weeks we have a mind with a slippery view of reality.

Last thought please: Dr. Paul MacLean is the developer of the Triune Theory of the brain. It has over a half-century of scientific acceptance, yet it scares those who examine its tenets. You should understand it because it reacts powerfully with your self-improvement in learning, reading and memory.

a) We have three brains in our skull, not one. Yes, really. The three are interconnected by nerve fibers.

b) Think of the three as interconnected computers.

c) The oldest, MacLean calls, the Reptilian Complex – Go Lizard and reptiles. It produces your ancient instincts and reflexes serving your survival. Remember: territoriality, aggressiveness, sex, hierarchy, rituals, survival and self-preservation; and our vegetative (automatic) functions.

d) Next, is the Limbic System, home to our emotions, and based on avoidance of pain and repetition of pleasure. Included are your amygdala, hippocampus (memory) hypothalamus, brainstem and basal ganglia. The amygdala can and does highjack our reason and logic through emotion when it deems it proper. Some find these actions dangerous and scary.

e) The newest brain is the one you are most familiar with, your Neocortex, logic, reason, linear and deductive analysis. We see it as our left and right brains and takes up 2/3 of the entire 3-pound brain territory.

f) Each of the three brains is independent of the others, separate in intelligence, memories, and subjectivity, with its own sense of time and place.

g) It is an urban myth that our Neocortex runs the show and dominants the other two. In dangerous circumstances, the Limbic System and Reptilian Complex rule the roost. When you are rejected, insulted, fired or you become frightened, envious, experience angst or distress, Limbic and Reptilian become excited to action.

h) It is the two silent brains that often decide if an idea from the neocortex gains entrance as your behavi
