Scientists Asked 1,000 People to Bury Their Underwear
Scientists asked 1,000 volunteers to bury more than 2,000 pairs of cotton underwear across Switzerland. How much fabric disappeared revealed surprising differences in biological activity and showed how strongly land use affects the life hidden beneath our feet.

Pour the exact same wine into two glasses, tell a drinker that one costs eight dollars and the other costs eighty, and they will almost certainly prefer the expensive one. Does expectation actually change what you taste, or only how you think about and report it?
How to Test a Brain Explanation That Sounds Like It Explains Everything
Predictive processing offers a grand view of the brain, but how do we tell genuine discoveries from post-hoc storytelling? A 4-question toolkit for evaluating neuroscience claims.
Kann eine Erwartung den Geschmack verändern?
Gießen Sie exakt denselben Wein in zwei Gläser und sagen Sie jemandem, dass eine Flasche 8 Dollar kostet und die andere 80 — die Person wird fast sicher den teuren Wein bevorzugen. Verändert die Erwartung das Erleben oder nur die Bewertung?
