Domains growth and packing properties in driven granular media subject to gravity

open access: yes, 1999
We study the dynamical properties of recently introduced frustrated lattice gas models (IFLG and Tetris) for granular media under gentle shaking. We consider both the case where grains have inter-grain surface interactions and the case where they have ...

Can playing the computer game "Tetris" reduce the build-up of flashbacks for trauma? A proposal from cognitive science.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundFlashbacks are the hallmark symptom of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Although we have successful treatments for full-blown PTSD, early interventions are lacking. We propose the utility of developing a 'cognitive vaccine' to prevent PTSD

Brain training game boosts executive functions, working memory and processing speed in the young adults: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundDo brain training games work? The beneficial effects of brain training games are expected to transfer to other cognitive functions. Yet in all honesty, beneficial transfer effects of the commercial brain training games in young adults have ...

Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble is NP-Complete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We prove that the classic 1994 Taito video game, known as Puzzle Bobble or Bust-a-Move, is NP-complete. Our proof applies to the perfect-information version where the bubble sequence is known in advance, and it uses just three bubble colors.Comment: 9 ...
