I find it odd that, after all the promise of “work hard, then enjoy your retirement”, the idea of two women traveling the world for three months is considered newsworthy.

Unless you are being chased by a tiger.

It’s a pretty loose, “toe in the water” study as far as I can tell.

The study sample is small, the actual details seem to indicate older people playing with a Kinect-based game and not much more.

There is also a fair amount of excitement in the study organizers for the use of “expectancy” placebo groups, whatever that is.

Sounds like “non-impact sports” provided by electronic experiences but utilizing behavioral interaction result in cues to increase neural plasticity and increase focus - a reasonable evolutionary response to tricking the organism into believing it is still in need of active skills.

Might also point to a relationship between elderly inactivity and cognitive decline.

TLDR; don’t think.

If there are baseboards, run down to them and push the wire underneath the bottom. Baseboards are made to have a gap with the floor so it can “float” and expand/contract freely.

If not that, we will likely need more info. Is there carpet, is there moulding, what is the end location of the computer?
