The brain is very unique but at the same time clumsy and easily bored. The interesting facts or theories that excite me about my research are the vast improvement of cognitive function and the contrasting theory that virtual violence in fact increases one's aggressiveness and possible forms a psychotic condition; as a result, causing one to become desensitized to violence. The cognitive improvement includes memory, problem solving, and increases speed of brain function, massive creativity boost, and overall IQ improvement. The main problems with these improvements is the fact that as people we adapt to the things we like, we don't usually go astray from our comfort zone. When the brain is comfortable it is easily bored.
The only problem I have encountered thus far is finding unique sources that prove cognitive improvement. To solve that problem I will interview people based on the current research statistics. Since virtual games are currently one of the biggest parts the media offers it won't be hard to people that will prove these statistics. Another way to prove this is to have a study of a group of people play these games and ask psychology questions dealing with peace and violence, and also test creativity levels.
