Homing in on these revealing
brain waves allows the EPOC system to quickly deduce a player's emotional qualities and react to it by, for example, changing the music of a game in real - time to
match the user's tension or throw in more villains in
case a player seemed to get bored of a certain world.
Sure enough, when the researchers examined the
brains of PD patients, they found more cells exhibiting signs of senescence than in people without the disease — and especially astrocytes, as they had expected.7 This was true even after
matching patients for age, meaning that PD subjects had even more senescent astrocytes in their SNcs than is typical for people their age (ranging in this
case from 50 — 92 years at autopsy)-- and remember, aging already drives an increase in the burden of these cells as compared with young people, even in those who have yet to develop Parkinson's disease.7
