Wii is now being also used by Dr. Rick Dale, a psychologist from the University of Memphis in his experiment to study the relationship between the mind and the body.
Dr. Dale used Wii in a variety of experiments and it helped to map how our brains handle think and action and that both are intertwined. He did some other experiment as well in which he found that Wii users had a “bias toward truth” which means that they had a natural tendency to think that whatever they were presented was the truth. The participants would use the Wiimote to decide whether a statement was true or false and it was found that each person wanted to believe that the statement was true even if it was false. Well, we will need time to understand these things but it’s good to know the console has now penetrated the medical field also.
