Yesterday I took part in some psychological research to help with someone's PhD (and to earn myself an easy tenner).
It involved wearing what looked like a swimming cap with lots fo wires coming out of the top to measure the conductivity across my brain. Also, in order for the electrodes to work, a substance that looked remarkably like semen was injected into them, which not only added to the general discomfort of the headwear, but made me look like I'd been involved in some sort of foul porn film afterwards.
The idea was to measure brain activity whilst looking at pictures of faces and deciding which ones looked happy or neutral. I don't know how many I got right, but there was a significant amount of brain activity approx 20miliseconds before the computer showed any pictures. Thus I can conclude that I am psychic.
Ommmm.
Now if only I could see further into the future than 20ms I might have predicted how bad that gin was going to make me feel last night.
