The Kissing Experiment Live On Twitter

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

picture-2.pngThe Science of Kissing now has its own Twitter account*.

Earlier this month I asked readers to participate in a preliminary survey that helped me design The Kissing Experiment set to take place next week in New York City…

I hoped for a fairly large sample size, and would have been satisfied with 60 responses–needless to say, you can imagine my surprise when well over 1,000 of you came through!  I not only received photo rankings, but questions,  opinions, and commentary.  Many, many people also requested follow up information about the full experiment when it takes place.  Fair enough.

Since I’m extremely grateful to everyone who helped out, you’re all invited to tune in to the cognitive neuroscience experiment as it takes place. We won’t have the results for a long time, but you’ll be able to share in the lab experience:

Follow me live from New York City @Sheril_ for updates, links, and progress. And stay tuned because the adventures in kissing begin on Monday!

* In case regular readers are wondering, yes Physioprof and I maintain our pact because these ‘tweets’ are only on topics related to the book.

    Psychology experiment, perhaps reserve the words cognitive neuroscience for those experiments that examine neural phenomena?

    It is a cognitive neuroscience experiment… fMRI and all.
