This is the research diary of researcher Lisbeth
Klastrup, since february 2001 sharing her thoughts on life, universe, persistent online
worlds, games, interactive stories and internet oddities with you on the www.
I am currently on leave from the IT University
of Copenhagen, and from aug. 2006 - aug. 2007 working as Associate Research Professor at the Center for Design Research Copenhagen, an independant center situated at the School of Architecture. During this year, I will be working on a book about the development of aesthetics, design and interaction on the WWW, together with colleague Ida Engholm.
My blog often reflects how busy I am in general, so posting may be pretty irregular, as well as my potential response to comments. But I read them!
My list of publications.

The good (or bad thing) about having listed yours truly as PR officer on the gamecenter website is that I start to get questions from journalists about a lot of weird stuff. I usually refer them to someone else in the house, but the local cognitive expert is gone, so the journalist will have to read this:
It's Official, Games can make you Smarter...

Video Games May Improve Visual Skills
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/videog.html
- and the paper and findings these article refer to is here: http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/people/daphne/videogames.html
it was published in nature: Green, C.S. and Bavelier, D., "Action video game modifies visual selective attention", Nature, 423:534-537, 2003.
