While playing, try to relax and watch the screen. You will soon notice that the number of successful attempts in the game has increased. After some time, stress resistance will increase in everyday life. This means that the brain rewired stress networks to new calm neural networks.
The ability to relax and observe 2-5 objects at the same time is the quality of peripheral vision and the frontal lobe. Peripheral vision and attention are part of the evolutionary mechanism of adaptation.
The scientific approach of managing stress via gameplay is taken from the original app Norbu Stress Control.
The Neuron Massage game does not allow the mind to be distracted by thoughts about the future or memories of recent unpleasant situations.
During the game “Neuron Massage”, control of the brain switches from stress neural networks to the hands of the commander in chief – the prefrontal part of the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe of the brain will automatically start the process of searching for, deactivating and weakening the neural networks of stress.
Thus, the game “Neurons Massage” leads the brain to the clarity of mind and a state of relaxation, as during massage.
