Could MONEY get you out of your closet? Even if you are happy there and KNOW you won't ever want out? [The very same way any person could KNOW they would not ever want to be a ballerina or a professional wrestler, bull fighter etc.?]
And here is the kicker or easy part. You don't have to "dress" at all. In any way, shape or form. No padding, or wigs or makeup or undies.
100 bucks for an hour of your time plus you get a free meal in a nice restaurant? How about 500 bucks? You don't even have to drive. THEY would pick you up. You don't even have to SPEAK to anyone. Answer even one Q. Don't have to nod or grunt. Don't have to listen to anything. No signature needed. You can come disguised if you want with mustache, wig, etc., if you are worried about your ID.
So what's the catch? THEY, the scientists who would like to find out just what makes us CDers tick, are going to try to get you to "hold still" for 15 or 20 minutes while they scan your brain. The ONLY thing you have to do is LOOK at 100 images in a slide show and nothing more. THEY will be able to see just what makes you [a CDer] tick by simple observation of your brain. Of course in an fMRI, like any medical procedure, analysis/results are subject to error. You can have the "results" IF you want them.
You would be helping Science and Humankind immensely!!!
Maybe some would be willing to pay money to have it done?
The above offer IS hypothetical of course. I completely fabricated it.
But, fMRIs ARE turning out to be an amazing tool in research, and are continuously being refined and the capability is already there.
So Who is game?
