Tie Experiment
Well folks - here is the description of my tie experiment.
What tie experiment you say?
The Christmas tie experiment!
Hypothesis = people will notice Christmas ties worn in August and September and make outrageous comments.
Materials and Methods - for 5 consecutive days (August 30 - September 3) a different Christmas tie was worn to work, shopping, restaurants, etc.
Estimated number of persons viewing a grown man wearing a Christmas tie in August/September = 1000+
Results - exactly one person recognized that it was a Christmas tie.
Several people stared at the tie but did not comment.
Possible explanation - their brains refused to process the concept of a Christmas tie in the Summer!!
Null hypothesis just plain out the window.
No statistics needed!!!!
So, what an interesting comment on the seasonal control over brain processing.
JTE.

wow, that's pretty interesting.
I'm actually a medical student, and been considering to do neurosurgery in life later, so I was quite amused and glad to bump into this blog. Giving me -you can say- another side of the life of a surgeon/doctor.
Wish there were more blogs like this around
