Training or Examining Buddhist Monks with biofeedback games

The idea is simple. Have a grid of sensors attached to the monk-in-training, to detect the person's stress level and concentration.

Next, find or create extremely frustrating or stressful games, "I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game (IWBTG)", and get the monk-in-training to play it.

At the end of the session, provided he/she didn't RAGEQUIT in the middle of the examination or training, tally up the score based on 'timetaken', 'avg stress level', 'avg concentration level'.

Over time, the idea is to help train, or test if the monk-in-training is able to cope with extremely absurd or illogical or rage inducing events, thus helping to encourage more rational thinking, concentration, and medication (hopefully).

On another though, this would be useful for school kids as well as anger management therapy. But I'll let you guys make a separate post for that.
