Discography
• She Blinded Me with Science, by Thomas Dolby– Words and music by Thomas Dolby– From the album The Golden Age of Wireless (1982; Capitol-
EMI)
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology
Lab Results
• Laterality and facial emotion recognition– Overview
> Google search terms Chimeric Faces
> ReferencesIndersmitten, T. and Gur, R. C. (2003). Emotion Processing in
Chimeric Faces: Hemispheric Asymmetries in Expression and Recognition of Emotions.The Journal of Neuroscience, 23, 3820
Lab Results
• Laterality and facial emotion recognition– Hypothesis
> We expect right-hemisphere dominance for facial emotion recognition in right handers
– Results> Correlation between handedness scale and left-
visual field advantage r =.13 One sample t-test to see if the average rating of right
handers was greater than random guessing (8/16).• t(56) = 6.67, p<.001
Lab Results
• Illusory correlation– Overview
> Google search terms Illusory correlation
> ReferencesMcConnell, A. R.; Sherman, S. J., Hamilton, D. L. (1994).
Illusory correlation in the perception of groups: An extension of the distinctiveness-based account. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 67, 414-429.
Lab Results
• Illusory correlation– Overview
> Method Group A (n = 26 members)
• 18 positive statements• 8 negative statements
Group B (n = 13 members)• 9 positive statements• 4 negative statements
Lab Results
• Illusory correlation– Hypothesis
> Minority event + negative attribute will get noticed and result in less favourable ratings for Group B
– ResultsPositive Attributes Negative Attributes
