シカゴ──テレビゲームで高得点を挙げる外科医は腹腔鏡手術でもミスが少ないという因果関係があることが、アイオワ州立大学の研究者らの調査で明らかになった。調査した研究者らは、ゲームの上手下手で手術の技量が予測できるという結果に驚いている。

外科関連の専門誌に発表された調査によると、ニューヨークにあるハーバード大学ベス・イスラエル医療センターの外科医３３人が調査に協力。

その結果、少なくとも１週間に３時間テレビゲームで遊んでいた医師９人が、まったくゲームをしていなかった１５人と比べて、ミスが３７％少ないだけではなく、作業時間が２７％速く、外科処置の技量を測定するテストで４２％高い得点を獲得していたという。

腹腔鏡手術は、術部位の切開する部分が少なくて済み、患者に負担をかけない手術として、採用が増えている一方で、医師は画面を見ながら細かい作業を行うため、手先の器用さや正確さが求められる。

これまでにも、テレビゲームは画面を見ながら手先を動かす訓練に役立つとの研究が報告されており、研究者らは今回の調査でさらに、ゲームが手術の技量向上に役立つことがわかったとしている。

しかし、テレビゲームに夢中になりやすい年代の子どもがいる親たちには、「ゲームが上手だからといって、医学部に入りやすくなるわけではない」と指摘し、ゲームを長時間続ければ、成績が下がったり運動不足になりやすいと、注意を呼び掛けている。

Hi! Are you guys still around? Would you like to participate in the Hug event below (it is a sociology study)? Please let me know!

Dear Japan,

You know you've been in Japan when you haven't been hugged in DAYS (or weeks) !! :(

Did you know that you need 8 hugs a day to be psychologically healthy? I think living in ronery-ole Japan, many people need some serious catching up to do. How would hugs change Japan? Well, let's see....

With Robb Willer, a professor of Sociology at the University of California in Berkeley, I would like to invite you to participate in a hug event in September at Yoyogi Park. It will be simple, and free. It's also a sociology study to see how people feel before and after the event. It's also a picnic, so stay afterward and meet people, if you want! I know this is crazy advance notice, but the word needs to spread and hugs to be practiced!

All you have to do is show up with someone you know who is in need of some hugs and we shall hug! Or, bring someone you wanna hug, and just hug them and show us how it's done! Hug whomever you feel comfortable hugging! Discuss hugging. Plus, we will do a giant hug, with as many people as possible. And we shall simultaneously hug. We won’t aim to break any records (tho we might), but just to give and get some hugs going (there will be perv / pick-pocketing common sense rules o'course!).

The date is set for September 19th at 2:00pm in Yoyogi Park, when it won't be so nastily-hot. 2:30pm is the big simultaneous hug! The rain date will be the next day. Come and go as u please.

Please tell as many Japanese and World friends to mark this date in their calendars. Invite thru facebook your group of friends! Please help spread the word!

And if YOU are a GOOD HUGGER, please come share the wealth and make Tokyo more huggable! We need you! Teach some people how to give a proper-ass hug!

I will be in contact with updates (I hope to make commercials on YouTube and take out some ads in some papers). If anyone else has word-spreading resources and can help--please do! (But let's try to be paperless)...

OOOOO
