Guest thaiworthy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 What's up pussycat? No, I'm not on another cat crusade, this is about research at amusement parks rides and their effect on the brain. What's up is now down and vice versa. Actually this is a crusade of sorts, the brain child of Nick Laslowicz, Founder and CEO of the Institute For Centrifugal Research, who maintains that spinning people around at a sufficiently high G-force will solve every problem the brain is faced with. http://www.icr-science.org/about.htm Gravity is a mistake. We work hard to correct it. That credo is the subject of this video. Not for the squeamish. I had no idea such attractions existed for thrill seekers. Yes, it does simulate the brain, but also adrenaline, I imagine, to say nothing of regurgitative phenomenon. Instructions for watching this video. Obtain one barf bag. Hold barb bag under chin. If necessary, close your eyes for the especially exciting parts. Do not attempt to watch said video while using a trampoline. You have been warned. This should be fun. It probably won't affect you as it did me. But I have run out of barf bags. http://vimeo.com/58293017 Well, did you throw up? Or anxious to help mad scientist Dr. Laslowicz with his research?

Guest thaiworthy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 HA! HA! Gotcha! The above is a parody. Join the universe of ICR and we will take you for a ride... In more ways than one! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/05/the-centrifuge-brain-project-till-nowak-mockumentary_n_2624368.html?utm_hp_ref=arts In Till Nowak's recent mockumentary, "The Centrifuge Brain Project," the German filmmaker delves into the sci-fi studies of Dr. Nick Laslowicz, a mad scientist character with a penchant for extravagant amusement park rides. The short project follows the misguided efforts of the Institute for Centrifugal Research, featuring a series of absurdly designed roller coasters that operate under the assumption that "gravity is a mistake." Brilliant! Till Nowak created the digital effects. Leslie Barany plays Dr. Laslowicz. What an actor!
