It was so much fun working with @squidsoup on this. When neuroscience and art come together it often doesn't end well, but this was absolutely brilliant! Thanks to @Brains_CAN & @trycreyos for making it possible for me to do it & @McrSciFest for hosting. @WesternU @BMI_WesternU.

Esports and video games boost cognition more than sports, finds new study, but regular exercise is key to strong mental health. People who frequently play games perform cognitively, on average, like people who were 13.7 years younger, said @Comadork
