This excellent article by Durham University professor Charles Fernyhough (psychologist consultant on Hellblade) digs into how media can foster and shape our behaviours.
“My research over the last 30 years has been about inner experience: the things in our minds that we are conscious of, such as thoughts, memories, inner dialogue, visual imagery, feelings and emotions. “
“As well as having the potential to create new, interesting and memorable takes on the gaming experience, this work has real-world implications for accessibility, mental health, neurodiversity and sensory inclusion.â€
As we unravel how the thoughts and feelings we have during play shape us, we get closer to purposefully creating media that can positively change our minds. Exciting!
