(A giant billboard rises over what appears to be a college campus. It reads: /!\ Student fMRI volunteers /!\ if you see a slide similar to one they already showed you, think as hard as you can about your scariest memory.)

The image is subtitled: A rival neuroscience department keeps trying to sabotage our experiments.

Discussion

Changed it from "instructions given within the scanner" to "tasks performed there", or words to those effects. Still a bit wrong for "get in there and just react naturally" (to whatever images, sounds, smells, etc get presented to the subject) but continues to allows for "Now say the colour of the written word"/"Now say the colour that is written" switches in task, whilst in situ. 172.70.86.64 01:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

New What If?

I noticed a new article, not sure if people have updated it here. 172.70.178.103 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Thanks for the hint. I have added it to the what if? list of articles, and I had not noticed it before your comment. :-) --Kynde (talk) 18:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
In the virtual simulation of reality given me, your article is at what if rather than what if?; could you compare your matrix codes with mine? 172.70.114.253 00:45, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
I just changed the capitalization of the W to w and then it worked with ? after. Did the same in yours. --Kynde (talk) 10:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
"Citation" needed?

The "citation needed" tag links to a W'pedia article about the Cessna Citation aircraft line. Is there some reason to keep that that I'm not getting? BunsenH (talk) 19:05, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm generally in favor of both sincere and satirical uses of [citation needed] but our default link target is far superior to that custom one; changing it out.... 172.69.33.9 21:31, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Probably the person who put it doesn't know about the default and/or how to use it, and instead came up with the funniest thing they could think of. NiceGuy1 (talk) 02:09, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
