Gave Dr. Pelphrey the recommendation forms with little ado, and got much done in lab today. Progressing very well with independent study; it looks like getting a paper out this semester is very possible.

Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the premier scholarly publication for neuroscientists: "Brain activation during Human Male Ejaculation". Methods, and I quote: "The volunteers were asked to perform the following tasks twice: rest, erection, sexual stimulation, and ejaculation followed by sexual stimulation. To minimize motor activity by the volunteer during the scan, sexual stimulation was provided by his female partner by means of manual penile stimulation in the tasks stimulation and ejaculation. Manual stimulation was continued through ejaculation. The volunteer's head was maintained in position with a head-restraining adhesive band, and to minimize visual input, volunteers were asked to keep their eyes closed." Um, right. I'm amused. And wondering how they got funding for the study.

Anyway, on that lovely note, I'm off to New Jersey and New York, so don't expect anything here till next Monday, earliest. Adios.
