five major prejudices about gaming and how much evidence to prove this for example a study by oxford university showed that the contents of a game don't make you aggressive but frustrating game mechanics to experts at hamburg's university clinics say people who play action games do not behave more aggressively in the long run other studies show that playing a lot of violent games can leave you emotionally numb but there is no evidence that violent games make someone more prone to violence so how do our brains really react when we play shooters. that's exactly what daphne from the university of geneva wants to find out she has people play first person shooters while hooked up to a magnetic resonance imaging scanner and the results show that in some ways games can lead to structure changes in the brain and in action video game players we know that the structures change and change for the better they communicate better with each other such that for them paying attention is less effort for. well we were surprised by that and activities i was so demonized by society. really conceived as a tool waste

i was a visiting fellow at oxford university so i want to explain this story. ended up in addenbrooke. it could happen to anybody. thank you for your company. hello there. if you like your spring weather dry, well, i think you will find plenty to like about this weather forecast. very little rain in the forecast for most of us. we will see dry weather. sunshine amounts will vary. often i think there'll be quite large amounts of cloud but the temperatures as we head towards the end of the week will start to creep upwards. high pressure then in charge of the scene, that's what's keeping things settled and, as i run the sequence through the next few days, this high—pressure barely moves. so for most of us, things stay pretty dry and quiet. up to the north, notice frontal systems scraping into northern scotland so here we will see patchy rains at times and it will be breezy. for many of us, we're starting tuesday morning on a chilly note, particularly down towards the south, where we've seen the lion's share of the clear skies, but that's where we'll have the best
