An article from #Particle, a digital science publication from Australia aimed at young people, dives into emerging research showing how immersive gameplay can blur the line between the virtual and the real — influencing how we perceive sounds, sensations, and even everyday environments. From hearing game sounds after logging off […]
Have you ever kept hearing a game sound, visualising its interface, or thinking in “game logic” after you’ve stopped playing? This intriguing overlap between gaming and reality is part of an exciting area of research known as Game Transfer Phenomena (GTP). In the recent publication, “Game Transfer Phenomena as a […]
A recent BBC article by Josh Sim highlights the significant impact of my research on Game Transfer Phenomena. I’m grateful for the contributions from gamers Christian Dines and Max Dzmitryiev, senior game producer Ali Farha, Scott Jennings from Gaming Addicts Anonymous, and researcher Nick Ballou. I have included some excerpts […]
When players immerse themselves in a video game, their attention, emotions, and sensory systems synchronize with the digital world.

The installation takes its name from repetitive gameplay’s […]
Check out my latest video showcasing some examples of Game Transfer Phenomena. I was inspired to create this after for talk at the “Cyberpsychology of Videogamers” symposium during the CYPSY27 conference. https://gametransferphenomena.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/What-are-GTP.mp4
We recently presented our symposium at #ICBA2024, which focused on exploring the impact of video games on cognition, perception, and behaviour known as #GameTransferPhenomena (GTP). Our symposium’s studies comprised samples from China, the USA, Poland, and the UK (N=3,316). We shared validated tools for assessing GTP, discussed the intricate relationship […]
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Julio C. Llamas Alonso on the successful completion of his Ph.D., focusing on the second thesis on Game Transfer Phenomena at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, titled “Mechanism of Game Transfer Phenomena: The Role of Cognitive, Emotional, and Personality Variables.” His dedication and hard […]
Re-experiencing sounds, images, and tactile sensations from video games or mobile phones are common among gamers, a new study showed. Younger adults appeared to be more susceptible to intrusions with video game content, intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. The study, carried out by Dr Angelica B. Ortiz de Gortari, a lead […]
In the blink of an eye, the year 2023 came to an end. However, it brought with it some pleasant surprises. Game Transfer Phenomena was featured in various media outlets, including academic and governmental ones. The year started with GTP being featured in a piece about the “Tetris” film in […]
