NewScientist: A Wii warm-up hones surgical skills

Idea: one hour warm-up on the Wii (Marble Mania) makes you better surgeon!
Proof: "Wii-playing residents scored 48 per cent higher on tool control and performance than those without the Wii warm-up"
Reasoning: surgery = fine motor skills
Use: $250 surgery training tool for the developing world
Future: developing realistic surgery procedures software
Remarks: Wii's in our classroom! no study on Halo or the Sims yet
