Okay, so it is summer and one needs a hook to get people to read articles because it's supposed to be a time of lazy leisure. So, what better hook can one have than reviewing how Leonardo de Vinci imagine what goes on internally (biologically not mentally) during sexual intercourse (Spiderman hooks are for kids, m'kay?). So, back on July 1, 2014, The Scientist website published this little article on da Vinci and how MRI imaging of people, well, y'know, shows that da Vinci was wrong.
If anyone is every at a loss for an example of how falsification works in science, remember this; see: http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/40267/title/Imaging-Intercourse--1493/ And the 1999 paper that reported research can be accessed here: http://www.bmj.com/content/319/7225/1596 Warning: Depending up your attitude about such things and your ability to read MRI images, this article may contain "dirty pictures', depending upon how literal/metaphorical you are. NOTE: Given that the Scientist article is writing about a research article published in 1999 just goes to show that writing about sex never grows old. ;-) -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
