Does Tetris have an ending?
The pieces pile up, reach the top of the playing screen, and then it’s game over. Tetris is beloved the world over and has sold over 435 million copies on various platforms, including the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Fewer than 10 copies of the Sega Megadrive version of Tetris are currently known to exist, making it one of the most sought-after videogames of all time.
Why do people say to play Tetris after trauma?
Tetris has been proposed as a preventive intervention to reduce intrusive memories of a traumatic event. However, no neuroimaging study has assessed Tetris in patients with existing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or explored how playing Tetris may affect brain structure. Studies have revealed that engaging with Tetris can increase gray matter in the brain, potentially leading to better cognitive function and enhanced problem-solving skills. Mental Health Benefits: In addition to its cognitive perks, Tetris has also been linked to mental health improvements.
