Academic researchers now use StarCraft II-the “drosophila” of brain science, as one paper suggested-when studying people who expertly perform cognitively complex tasks. It’s as if Garry Kasparov had to plot a pawnless endgame while simultaneously harvesting minerals, building fuel extractors, and searching in vain for Spassky’s queen. In the early stages, players cannot see one another’s armies, and must dispatch scouts to illuminate darkened corners they must also develop economies, with which to fund the inevitable battles.
