I was just thinking about the same things earlier today. I thought of doing an experiment where different volunteers are fed different amounts of food, and then give them standardized tests to see what the effect (if any) is of food on brain function that same day.
It's probably been done. If anyone knows of something like this, please let me know.
I would also like to mention an anecdote; a teacher once told me a student of his bet he'd get positive results from taking LSD (or something, it might have been extasy) on the day of the PSU, the once-a-year standardized test that determines admission to Chilean colleges. He flunked.
