Peak Brain waves - visual stimulation - cognitive performance and MobiTV.

No wonder I only watch TV in short spurts and it's quite a surprise to me that the movies can actually do something to enhance cognitive performance.
Give me algebra and calculus and neuroscience anyday, but we all live and learn.
It appears that the Mobi TV feature for Cell Phones may in fact have some positive Bio-advantages in that it exercises the brain thru visual stimulation. We know that visual input stimulates the brain. We know that there are significant peaks in brain wave activity in the first 15-30 minutes of watching TV or playing video games and then the activity slowly declines after that.
So there is something to think about.
Watching comedy or movies with a twist or ironic situations happening during the film such a detective stories with multiple twists and the "Who Done It" type detective movies provide additional peak brain waves thru out the show. This is due to the activation of the N400 Brain Wave.
So what do you THINK?
Do you have thoughts either pro or con on this issue? How does new technology and mobile devices change they way you live, think and reason? Do you think we are moving too fast and losing our innate human social structure or do you feel such devices enhance our closeness as a culture? The future will tell us soon enough
I found this website particularly interesting and you'll find it on the link next to the title.
