what did everyone get for physiological changes for asc?
i wasnt sure and one of them i said
loss of self control
any chance that is right?
no offence here.. but loss of self control isn't really realistic, what i mean is, there would be a decreased level of self control. saying that somebody has had a loss of self control could be interpreted to mean that they would do absolutely anything that was asked of them (including murder)

i though it was fairly hard although it was more "different" than hard. I went in aiming for around 80/90 but went out thinking i got around 75. I think I did very well on multiple choice(don't think there is one that i have got certainly wrong) but stuffed up on the short answer. Will be interesting to see what i get

was it just me or was the ames room and the film director thing weird. Does a camera at a peephole eliminated binocular cues..???
Was the detail of the which and the whole storyline necessary I mean come on that was just a waste of ink. you could tell the exam writers were bored and thought that would be funny to put that in.

im pretty sure the location of the camera did not eliminate binocular depth cues. this is bcoz we view the camera film with both eyes-so binocular...i wrote that the camera location at the peephole ensured that our visual angle was the same for both corners, so we perceived the room as a rectangle.
actually the location had nothing to do with whether binocular depth cues were eliminated, however a camera would provide only monocular film since there is only one camera...

i'm almost 100% sure that the cerebral cortex contains 3/4 of the brains neurons (with the other quarter being below the 2-5mm cerebral cortex)

for psychological effects of sleep dep would anxiety and lack of motivation be acceptable?
