The human brain works in mysterious ways. It's so complex, yet for stimulation, sometimes the simpler the better.
Like Tetris simple.
Seriously - playing Tetris can improve your intelligence after repeated play, according to a new study, "leading to improved brain efficiency and a thicker cortex."
In fact, Tetris isn't simple at all, says researcher Dr. Richard Haier:
Tetris, for the brain, is quite complex. It requires many cognitive processes like attention, hand/eye co-ordination, memory and visual spatial problem solving all working together very quickly.
Reaction is streaming in from something else that is relatively simple, yet potentially intelligence-boosting: Twitter.
