What about the people in the control group (or any of them, actually) who didn't recover from the disturbing images? Now they have to live with the stress forever?!?!
Haha, lol@ ethical implications

Any instances of people getting PO'd at the game? Then again, they might not have played up to any sort of break-neck level, and my lack of familiarity may be being replaced with experience with other games (Order of Eccelsia, the SLEEP power section(s) of Kirby SSU... been a while, but maybe Dullahan of Golden Sun: TLA).

Does it help with the trauma of being in a Russian prison?

After I saw this at Slashdot, I decided to present it at my weekly lab meeting in a few weeks...w00t, science!

I totally agree with this... i always play it when i fly, i'm not the biggest fan of flying and when i play this it eases my nerves, takes my mind of worrying.
