Re: Science: What does poker do to your brain? (x post from psychology)

I would love to see the results of a test where they hook people up to electrodes and see what part of the brain is active during an activity.
I'm guessing that winning and losing players would activate totally different areas, with losers being far more emotionally driven.

That would certainly be interesting. Kind of like that show where they hooked poker players up to a machine to measure their adrenaline level while they were playing. I saw it on tv. I think it wasn't big name pros just people who'd won their way on to tv thru freerolls.
