I'm hopeful that the shift to VR from PC gaming and perhaps also office productivity will help with myopia. Might seem counter-intuitive given the VR lens is next to the eye but focus in VR is in the distance. Even productivity in VR i

Love anki. On the topic of brain training, an n-back app working memory training app. Evidence is mixed on whether it works. Anecdotally I've used it and think it worked for me. It's free to train, only cost is your time. I think

My understanding is that 10000 lux bulbs are accepted treatment for SAD. I live in a dull country and bought one despite not suffering from SAD. Anecdotally I find it great to help wake up in the dark winter mornings.

My father brought home unlicensed games from Hong Kong for my brother and I to play on the NES in the 80s. I recall after putting in the game and powering on the NES, the screen used to flash for a second, kind of like when the reset button
