“There was a level of undefined brain activity, about 30% higher, than the kids who stayed on the ground.”
The Centrifuge Brain Project is an awesome short film by Till Nowak, featuring a deadpan performance by Leslie Barany.
The fictitious website of the Institute for Centrifugal Research (ICR) is one of the best since LACUNA Inc. (which lives on at archive.org):
Welcome to the homepage of ICR - the world's leading research laboratory in the highly specialized field of spinning people around.
We are proud of our history - a chronicle of passion and pioneering achievements in the realms of brain manipulation, excessive G-Force and prenatal simulations. Established in 1976 by Dr. Matthew Brenswick and Dr. Nick Laslowicz, the institute has never stopped doubting the generally accepted laws of physics.

Oh, I fell deeply in love with this short.
