I went to what was called a laboratory school tha was part of the education department at a large state university. They would pull us out class occasionally and wire are heads, stick us in a black room and ask about a small white dot.
No idea what it was about but must have been research.
Oh yeah, I did that study for my TA once. It was something about reaction time or visual tracking or something like that. I was distracted, though, because my TA was really hot.
I ended up quitting the Psych major with one credit remaining, and begrudgingly grinded through CS instead.
Huh? There was definitely no math involved - I would never have graduated if there were!
Incidentally it was a double CS + Psych that I started with, but I abandoned the psych portion and did the entire CS part in the last two years. Would not recommend.
fyi, computer science is a subset of mathematics, the "computer" part sort of gives it away, because what it really means is "one who computes, factors, reckons." To be more clear, CS is Math. My CS degree, and most others I am aware of, had a built-in math minor, i.e. 22 credits of the 60 credit degree were courses from the math department, including discrete math, two years of calculus I, II & III, linear algebra, statistics, differential equations, number theory, and numerical analysis. If your CS degree didn't include any mathematics whatsoever, then your alma mater didn't prepare you to find work as a computer scientist. And if being only one or a few credits shy of a psych degree didn't earn you at least a psych minor, I'd ask for my tuition back with a lawsuit.
