"THE FINAL CUT" APPARENTLY POPULAR WITH CHICKENS
In Steven Kotler's recently-published "Surfing, Science and the Origins
of Belief," the author details studies conducted by Jack Panksepp, head
of affective neuroscience research at the Chicago (Ill.) Institute for
Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch.
Panksepp was researching the similarity of emotional experiences that
occur while listening to music to those experienced by runners during
the so-called "runner's high." To that end, he played dozens of records
by various artists to chickens he had attached to equipment that
recorded their responses.
The chickens' favorite: "The Final Cut."
