I am an undergrad psychology major considering grad school and the more I read and participate in research, the more I want to back out. While methodology takes up a fair chunk of the curriculum, many of the research projects I have worked on with grad students and professors have gaping holes in them. It's really bad when the researchers are aware of the problems, but choose to take shortcuts anyway. Those shortcuts are later covered up through vague wordings and pseudoscientific explanations, if they are mentioned at all, only for the proposed theories to gain widespread acceptance. I feel like I'm in the middle of "The Emperor's New Clothes" and I've only just started out. Anyway, I enjoy reading this blog to get a critical perspective on some of the shoddy research out there.

Thus, we would like to know more about your background and knowledge within the field of neuroscience and neuromarketing. <br />Is it possible for us to have your email adress and send you a few questions? <br />We would really appreciate the help. <br /> Mariannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-70234457480810158282013-10-12T14:38:03.933-07:002013-10-12T14:38:03.933-07:00There's no theory.
