akio mori

mori was originally known for his physiology researches , but began to write books about human neuroscience , coining the term `` game brain '' on his 2002 book .
he claimed that the brains of people who played video games were physically damaged .
`` game nō no kyōfu '' got much attention from multiple critics , such as tamaki saitō .
mori 's activities expanded into other genres such as journalism and politics due to the popularity of his books , though his theory about human brains was pointed out to be pseudoscientific .
japanese critic hiroo yamagata compared the book `` game nō no kyōfu '' with the following movement of `` messages from water '' because those theories became popular via japanese mass media without scientific backgrounds .
