>Stanford researchers identify brain region activated by Pokémon characters. Adults who played Pokémon video games extensively as children have a brain region that responds preferentially to images of Pikachu and other characters from the series.It is scientifically proven that Pokemons do grow on you.

>>59132641>>59133546>People who had something to be attached to in their childhood are gonna remember it betterWhat the fuck is this shit? Do people really have to invent terms and studies to push Pokemon further?Of course people will remember pokemon if they played it as kids. People also remembered the muppets when they watched it as kids.God damn it, what is it called when people feel compelled to make up stuff to stand out?
>>59133594Why is his butt so defined?
>>59132641>People who liked pokémon react to pokémonWOW!
research paid for by gamefuck."just find something obvious, but make it about pokemon so it sounds shiny and cool"
>>59133597Important to validate assumptions scientifically rather than just believing in it. Groundwork for further studies
>>59133597>An unanswered question in neuroscience concerns which dimensions of visual information constrain the development and topography of this shared brain organization. To answer this question, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan a unique group of adults who, as children, had extensive visual experience with Pokémon. These animal-like, pixelated characters are dissimilar from other ecological categories, such as faces and places, along critical dimensions (foveal bias, rectilinearity, size, animacy).they were just using pokemon as a model to measure brain activity, it's not that wanted to study the neurological effects of pokemon specifically
>>59133597It's not memory, its showing frequent Pokémon players had increased brain activity in the visual recognition part of their brains when shown images of Pokémon. Here is a better representative figure, if you can't read the whole paper: Pokémon novice's brain activity along the top row in response to each type of image, experienced Pokémon player's for the bottom row.
>>59133763>show boomer a picture of swampert>no brain activity>show guy who played RSE a picture of swampert>brain recalls memories of playing the gamewow truly groundbreaking stuff here
We knew about this for years
>>59133763are you telling me.. people remember things they remember..? woah...
