Psychology experiment

For your information psychology is one of my units for the current semester.. experimental credit is needed to attain a better score (since its so simple to obtain those credits, no one gives it up just like tat XD though it only makes up 6% of the total score ==) i did my 1st experiment yesterday...

actually i didnt do the experiment, i was the one being done..get what i mean? like in order to obtain those credits u have to seek for some experiments carried out by postgraduate students n offer urself as "white mouse" lol~ anyway, it wont hurt.. so why not? XD

I found a guy, Craig, who's currently carrying out an experiment about motor cortical processes.. he's a psyc postgraduate student btw.. why him? cause he offered a total credit of 1.5! which is half of the credits we need (3 credits = 6 pts)..so..he's the one! XD its an experiment about reflex of muscles in association with part of the brain.. thr's a 'machine' called TMS(transcranial magnetic stimulation), used to transfer magnetic impulse to ur brain(motor cortex i guess), causing the related controlling part of the muscle to reflect.. it looks like a small-size-tennis racket, during experiment, the thing was placed on ur head n magnetic pulses were sent off thru tat thingy n u might feel like sth tapping on ur head, as a result, muscles between index finger n thumb were affected by the pulses n my fingers moved! i didnt intend to move them but they just moved! how weird..

well, u're required to complete some simple tasks related to these reflex thingy n cables r placed on ur hands connecting to those complicated machines bla bla bla..(as shown in pictures haha) anyway, its quite fun for the first few minutes..but definitely not for the last few minutes..cause i was just sitting there doing the exactly same thing for almost an hour! its hella boring! anyway, for the sake of my credits, i'd do anything! XD

during experiment a crowd of visitors crashing over the psyc office, they were like having a campus tour or what..i wasnt quite sure for the moment..then Craig used me to display the experiment to them..twice! cause thr were 2 groups of fellows anyway..yea..i was kinda excited instead of being tersinggung..cause i love being on the camera! wuakakakakaXD they were taking photos n asking me about my feelings bla bla bla..i felt quite glorious n proud as like there was a ring of angel-rays above my head being the subject of the experiment in front of those visitors, as i didnt expect sth like tat anyway..XD that was the interesting part of all n i was most awaken at tat period..other than tat, i nearly fell asleep in the process of experiment..felt sorry for Craig for having me as one of his experiment XD

well, basically, it was interesting since its a first-time-trial..its always good to try new stuff like ppl say..XD oh yea..i looked like an idiot during the experiment..find out urself..



see the blue thing? tats the tennis racket i mentioned XD n tats the place i sat thru-out the experiment

tats why i looked stupid..cause of the thing on my head..what the hell ==

woolala~

see those cables? yea, like i was a patient connecting to EEG or sth..i loved the appearance anyway, though it really looked stupid XD


i didnt take a lot of photos for the whole process, Craig said taking photos might affect the result or sth..so i took the above when he gave me a break time of 10 mins lol~ anyway, glad to try sth new..take it as an experience what xD
