In Tuesday’s class we obviously focused extensively on the Relaxation chapter of Ian Bogost’s book. Part of the discussion that caught my ear was the way monotonous tasks can induce relaxation along with the introduction of “meditation” games into the videogame genre. The article I found talks briefly about how monotonous tasks increase the alpha activity of the brain. This phenomenon of increased alpha activity has also been seen in the early stages of meditation. Essentially, this means that simple monotonous tasks, such as clicking a mouse repeatedly, can in some way induce a state of relaxation or even meditation.
