Comment on IgNobel Prize in Neuroscience: The dead salmon study (2012)parent

Comments

We just had the one salmon to scan, unfortunately. Regardless of the pre-existing condition of the salmon (zombie, rust, etc) there were no significant voxels of activity once we applied proper statistical corrections. This strongly points to correlated noise as the cause of the uncorrected results.

Thank you for responding. I have been very curious on whether Rusts are active in salmon. I was not serious about zombie salmon though. One salmon is a rather small sample size regardless of the common sense reasoning around the subject at hand.
