In her work on PTSD at Oxford University's Institute of Psychiatry, Dr Emily Holmes is no stranger to haunting imagery, or the harm such vivid flashbacks can cause.
In a remarkable experiment involving footage taken at the scenes of car crashes and clips of old public information films, Dr Holmes is using the computer game Tetris to disrupt the processes in the brain involved in laying down painful memories, dramatically reducing the impact of recalled trauma.
"The biology of memory suggests you've got about six hours after a traumatic event while that memory solidifies," she says.

Tetris can be both a gift and a curse. |
