   How do movies affect the brain?

   • Regions of the visual cortex have functions ranging from pattern recognition to motion perception. As a result, movies that exert more control over viewers’ perception have a greater impact on their brain activity. Unstructured videos like comedy shows, by contrast, elicit only 5 to 20 percent cortical synchronization among viewers.
