hey there...

okay, time to organise my thoughts, my blog, and my planned experiment. Here goes...

Right, I have under two weeks to prepare the written part of my experiment, and for the experiment itself, I have to have that completely done by June. Seeing, as we are seeing the tail end of April, now's the time I think to get things underway.
I've decided to scrap the 'does-smell-influence-appetite-along-with-the-actual-presentation-of-the-food' part of the plan, seeing as this is probably just going to be a tad complicated, just a tad, mind. Therefore, to give myself a chance of actually finishing this thing without too many hiccups, I will just record the visual effects.
Which reminds me of the 30 or so guineapigs still needing to be recruited. I'm thinking of separating these 30 into five groups of six, and testing them group by group over a period of two weeks.
Also, there's the dilemma of figuring out how exactly to measure the change in appetite without relying solely on word of mouth.
Hopefully, by the next post I'll have a bit of research under my belt.
Until next time
