Mitche's Critic[edit]

I would suggest putting more information on this method, and resources to go along with it. Also reasons on why they would do this to animals, and what purpose it serves. Madscientist29 (talk) 03:43, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'when signs of falling asleep appear' -- and exactly what signs are those?[edit]

this seems very dubious and subjective to the observer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.108.8 (talk) 20:26, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the experimenter is directly involved? watching the subject animal, and starting the disc turning when s/he observes the onset of sleep? So, yes, to some degree subjective (though it seems doubtful that the subjectivity would much affect experimental results?)

But wouldn’t it be simpler just to leave the disc continuously turning anyway?

And what is meant by “carried” into the water? Is the disc inclined? so that one edge is under water? Or does it spin fast enough to throw the animal off at the side??

Anyone got access to a / the source?!?
