What do you think of biofeedback/neurofeedback games such as Erin Reynold's Nevermind or Throw Trucks with Your Mind? Is it just a gimmicky distraction (like 3D movies), or do these games have real potential to improve people's lives, for example by helping them to better manage stress or focus their attention? Where do you see neurofeedback games going in the future?

Are you familiar with Jayne Gackenbach's research that showed a strong correlation between lucid dreaming and playing video games? Have you experienced this effect yourself?

I agree about the 1st-person POV being significant in facilitating lucid dreaming. We're starting to see some 1st-P games that have an explicitly dreamlike element, which I think will help even more. I'd like to see someone design a game that was explicitly aimed at lucid dream training. Do you (or anyone reading this) know of any projects along those lines?
