How do I volunteer for this?!

A pair of psychology professors at Kansas State study the effects of letting subjects play Rock Band to analyze how people achieve “flow” while at work or while performing skilled tasks.  The study had been conducted in a similar fashion in the past using Tetris, but the researchers said that Rock Band was more conducive in its usage of a constant, steady focus by the subjects.  It also allowed the researchers to study if “flow” was effectively contagious in a cooperative environment.

Do you think they had them play “Even Flow” or “Go With the Flow?”
