Sir Charles Scott Sherrington is one of my science heros, so I'm featuring him on my cogsci profile. He is often credited with coining the word "synapse."

comment How much red/orange is needed to stimulate hunger?
@BenBrocka Do you still have the references? I searched on Pubmed and didn't find anything. Some of the original basis of the "McDonalds" color scheme was to move people through the restaurant quickly (I couldn't find a ref for this either (!!), but I heard it during a psych course a number of years ago, which doesn't mean anything, I realize) to promote turnover rate rather than hunger.

comment How to estimate IQ for public figures?
My thought is that it is hard enough to measure the IQs of school children using decades-old, tried-and-true tests in a controlled environment. Hehe.

comment How to estimate IQ for public figures?
The difficulty in using writing samples and samples of public speaking is, if any of these were written during the administration, at a minimum they were gone over with a fine-toothed comb by teams of people or perhaps even ghostwritten.
