Brain Mapping Research

[alow]

There is apparently a new "game" online that allows normal people to help scientists map out the nerves in the brain. It is actually enjoyable and a good idea to help further research. You can find an article about the site here and a link directly to the game here.

It's along the same thought as those of us who are crunching away, so I thought you might all enjoy!

That's an interesting find Alow, I've not seen this one before. "Gamer research" seems to be growing in popularity, have you also seen the "puzzle" which is here: http://fold.it/portal/
It's all fascinating stuff.

To participate in this the participant must first be in possession of a brain.

So that's a fail for me then...
