Mr. Fuster is using rhesus monkeys, allegedly to study attention, perception and memory. Fuster tells anyone who will listen that the motto of his lab is Only happy animals give good data. Interestingly, Fuster recently requested increased water deprivation for the monkeys on which hes experimenting, asserting, At the present deprivation limit, the animals are simply not sufficiently motivated to learn and perform the experimental tasks. This poor performance manifests itself in low accuracy. Fusters happy monkeys are not being deprived enough to be good subjects? These happy animals are now deprived of water for 22 hours a day, and the maximum amount of water they are given for the remaining 2 hours is 350 ml! Let Fuster know he wins first place for most ironic motto. |
