The guinea pig engineer and the experiments.

This was the second experiment at my engineer school I participated in as a test subject (the first one being a couple of weeks ago, interacting with a household robot). This time I had to sit in a train simulator (shaped like a train car, you know like those simulators you have at amusement parks, but less fun) and they simulated a few train rides (which was very well made, I really felt like I was in a train), after which I had to write down how annoying they were on a scale of 1-10. It was so realistic I nearly fell asleep.

Anyway, I'm participating in so many experiments I might soon earn the reputation of campus guinea pig. I'm constantly scanning the campus for experiments looking for test subjects, and I'm going to spawncamp the plasma physics laboratory for anything.

Why you ask?

Simple: free cinema tickets.
 
What?.. Free cinema tickets?

You let them violate you in the worst way possible, for cinema tickets?
 
For my psych class last semester, we were REQUIRED to be a guinea pig in at least 5 experiments. Luckily, none of them were really bad, and I actually got paid for 2 of em!
 
I've got some mutant viruses laying around, can I inject you with them?

They won't hurt. much.

:twisted:
 
*Hint* Become a guinea pig at a medical school, it's much more interesting.

There's actually someone on campus that volunteers for experiments every chance he gets, usually quite a few opportunities in New Haven. It's his entire income, it works well for him (even if he only just beats out a few of my rocks at home in an intelligence comparison).
 
Indeed. I'd never do medical though. All these are just about customer testing and stuff (i.e no danger involved).
 
i did a medical test once, but only because a mate of mine put me in the control group (aka the lucky buggers that get placebos instead of the real medicine thats being tested). you're not supposed to know, so it pays equally well. :)
 
Perhaps they were testing something akin to the anti-placebo effect. You thought you were recieving the placebo while really receiving the medicine, while they observed the results (another test of the psychological control of the physical).
 
you're a looney





but it would explain why i started seeing pink elephants everywhere
 
I participated in a memory test with the Psych department and a test on game theory for the Economics. Game Theory paid off like $60! Coolness.
 
So where can one find such employment opportunities? Im very interested...and eager to take part in any scientific matter.

I suppose living in a vault was torturous enough...

If you live near a major university, just grab their newspaper. Should be something in there.

There's always something going on at the U of A, mostly stop smoking meds lately though.
