Neuroscientists tap gamers to learn how people problem-solve

"Fans of Candy Crush Saga, Flow Free or Minesweeper should check out a challenging new mobile game app, hexxed , that will stretch your brain as it helps brain researchers understand human strategic thinking and perhaps improve the reasoning of artificial intelligence.

The puzzle game was released this month through Apple’s App Store and Google Play by neuroscientist Gautam Agarwal and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon, Portugal."
