Early-stage work by Oxford University psychologists suggests playing ‘Tetris’ after traumatic events could reduce the flashbacks experienced in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The researchers report in PLoS ONE that healthy volunteers, playing ‘Tetris’ soon after viewing traumatic material in the laboratory reduced the number of flashbacks to those scenes in the following week. They believe that the computer game may disrupt the memories that are retained of the sights and sounds witnessed at the time, and which are later re-experienced through involuntary, distressing flashbacks of that moment.
Other researchers have shown that memories and emotions are both energy. Science has been able to actually measure and show the brain’s energy for over thirty years through various brain scanning and imaging equipment.
Ninety percent of the perception of vision occurs in the brain as it decodes the impressions of light that it receives from the brain. For healthy, normal humans vision is the predominant sense, as sixty percent of brain space is dedicated to it.
When the eyes send images of energy, which the game of Tetris simulates the brain can use those images to help decode other impressions, including disturbing ones that the individual is working to resolve and assimilate.
The study by Oxford University psychologists continues. I t could inform new clinical interventions for use immediately after trauma to prevent or lessen the flashbacks that are the hallmark symptom of PTSD. Existing approved treatments can only be provided once PTSD has become established.
‘This is only a first step in showing that this might be a viable approach to preventing PTSD,’ says Dr Emily Holmes of the Department of Psychiatry at Oxford University , who led the work. ‘This was a pure science experiment about how the mind works from which we can try to understand the bigger picture. There is a lot to be done to translate this experimental science result into a potential treatment.’
The psychologists rely on three elements. First, they consider the mind to have two separate types of thought: one is sensory and deals with the direct perceptual experience of the world; the other is conceptual and draws meaning and narrative from experiences to give them context. For example, when looking at Word Art the image (colors, design, size) or the work presents a perceptual experience, but the meaning of the words presents a conceptual experience.
For psychologists there appear to be limits to our abilities in each stream: it is difficult to hold a conversation while doing math problems, for example.
Playing a game like Tetris gives a individual perceptual experience with energy like images. When the brain sees other energy filled images, such as memories that are charged with the energy of emotion, it can then decode this as sensory instead as conceptual information.
| Although playing Tetris is fun, and the study’s findings point to success for recent traumatic visual events, early adopters are discovering other energy filled images can be just as effective while addressing both recent and past memories.
Judy Rey Wasserman’s new and emerging Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art theory is focused on the stroke, which always depicts energy. When a brain has seen enough of these images it begins to decode memories that contain unwanted or negative emotions as visual energy, rather than conceptual information of anger, self pity, fear, or other negative ideas and emotions. |

The Art of Seeing The Divine – Book 1. What Do You See? is a new e book that reveals more about how a person can easily gain an enhanced vision that includes actually seeing more energy through an illustrated program of Visual Exercise/Experiences using art. There’s also a introductory free booklet for the Art of Seeing The Divine, which includes information and visual exercises to create needed memories.
These new visual memories of energy are used by the brain to decode memories that may include unwanted emotions. This results in more clarity, emotional freedom and success.

While research continues to add evidence for the brain’s capacity to interpret negative emotions as simply perceptions of energy people are finding relief now by providing themselves with easy, fun, and painless ways to provide their brains with the necessary visual images of memories through games like Tetris and viewing Judy Rey Wasserman’s Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art.
