A hardrock group or heavy metal 67 00:03:57,172 --> 00:03:59,502 group which would listen to Anthrax, 68 00:03:59,502 --> 00:04:03,732 stunt 442 and at the time since we really 69 00:04:03,732 --> 00:04:06,322 didnt know any good heavy metal groups we 70 00:04:06,322 --> 00:04:08,312 just went to K-Mart and ask the clerk 71 00:04:08,312 --> 00:04:10,472 behind the desk whats a good heavy metal 72 00:04:10,472 --> 00:04:12,862 group and she handed us this CD and after 73 00:04:12,862 --> 00:04:15,052 about ten seconds of listening to it 74 00:04:15,052 --> 00:04:16,922 we found that's the one wanted 75 00:04:16,922 --> 00:04:18,952 *crowd is laughing from David joke 76 00:04:18,952 --> 00:04:22,704 Um we then ah, we also had a classical 77 00:04:22,704 --> 00:04:27,094 group. Which we played a variety of different classical 78 00:04:27,094 --> 00:04:28,734 songs to it, it didn't matter which ones 79 00:04:28,734 --> 00:04:31,194 as long as it was classical. So we divided 80 00:04:31,194 --> 00:04:33,074 this mice into three different groups 81 00:04:33,074 --> 00:04:34,834 and we began running them through a fixed 82 00:04:34,834 --> 00:04:38,014 maze over the course of the next four weeks 83 00:04:38,014 --> 00:04:40,926 and as time progressed the mice either 84 00:04:40,926 --> 00:04:44,936 got faster or slower and ah the classical 85 00:04:45,010 --> 00:04:47,790 or I'll go into that later. But 86 00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:49,161 the interesting thing about first year 87 00:04:49,161 --> 00:04:51,201 I did this project is that actually I 88 00:04:51,201 --> 00:04:53,611 had to cut it short because the heavy 89 00:04:53,611 --> 00:04:56,481 music had made these mice who can't 90 00:04:56,481 --> 00:04:59,291 understand words just the sounds alone 91 00:04:59,291 --> 00:05:01,851 had made them so violent that within 92 00:05:01,851 --> 00:05:04,031 three weeks there was only one mouse left 93 00:05:04,031 --> 00:05:05,331 in the rock group 94 00:05:05,331 --> 00:05:06,361 * crowd is laughing 95 00:05:06,361 --> 00:05:09,441 It was rather interesting because 96 00:05:09,441 --> 00:05:12,351 the mice they just they seem to be 97 00:05:12,351 --> 00:05:14,267 so disconent with one another and 98 00:05:14,267 --> 00:05:16,787 they would separate themselves from the 99 00:05:16,787 --> 00:05:19,877 other mice and then you know they just 100 00:05:19,877 --> 00:05:22,277 turn around and kill one of the other mice 101 00:05:22,277 --> 00:05:24,774 For as the classical mice and controlled mice 102 00:05:24,774 --> 00:05:26,704 they were perfectly fine with one another 103 00:05:26,704 --> 00:05:28,694 They didn't have problems what so ever 104 00:05:28,694 --> 00:05:32,884 it was, it was interesting and so my 105 00:05:32,884 --> 00:05:34,734 after doing this project for my first 106 00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:37,234 year. I had a lot of suggestion and found 107 00:05:37,234 --> 00:05:40,424 out a lot problems with my project 108 00:05:40,424 --> 00:05:43,632 This is a background of the project 109 00:05:43,632 --> 00:05:47,172 which I just described and as I said 110 00:05:47,172 --> 00:05:49,202 there a lot of problem with the project 111 00:05:49,202 --> 00:05:50,172 there weren't enough subject for 112 00:05:50,172 --> 00:05:52,388 statistical analysis. I'm sorry if you 113 00:05:52,388 --> 00:05:56,128 can't see but were try more or less the 114 00:05:56,128 --> 00:05:59,189 uh. Like I said there weren't enough mice 115 00:05:59,189 --> 00:06:01,689 for statistical analysis i only had 18 116 00:06:01,689 --> 00:06:03,209 mice that first year. So the second year 117 00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:07,289 I did my project i had 72 also in the 118 00:06:07,289 --> 00:06:09,319 first year like I said I obtained the mice 119 00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:11,789 From a local pet store and I did know 120 00:06:11,789 --> 00:06:14,759 what their age , their weight uh what 121 00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:17,129 their genetic background was which had. 122 00:06:17,129 --> 00:06:18,799 which could have an affect on the outcome 123 00:06:18,799 --> 00:06:21,289 of the overall project 124 00:06:21,289 --> 00:06:23,549 Their uh their living condition as 125 00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:25,869 I would say was one of the big problems 126 00:06:25,869 --> 00:06:29,629 They were able to interact with another 127 00:06:29,629 --> 00:06:31,493 and they were also given a 128 00:06:31,493 --> 00:06:34,353 very unrealistic music environment 129 00:06:34,353 --> 00:06:36,443 The two variable groups which listen to 130 00:06:36,443 --> 00:06:40,603 music as I said uh were subjective to 131 00:06:40,603 --> 00:06:44,645 their music 24 hours a day at 90 decibels 132 00:06:44,645 --> 00:06:48,561 and that's a little extreme its kinda loud 133 00:06:48,561 --> 00:06:51,541 and its all day long and so i looked 134 00:06:51,541 --> 00:06:53,711 at these problems and I decided that 135 00:06:53,711 --> 00:06:55,341 it needed a lot of work 136 00:06:56,294 --> 00:07:00,654 So what I did um was i obtained 137 00:07:00,654 --> 00:07:03,674 the 72 white male mice I said but this 138 00:07:03,674 --> 00:07:05,874 year I quoted them from 139 00:07:05,874 --> 00:07:07,724 Harland Spray Darley which is a 140 00:07:07,724 --> 00:07:09,574 laboratory which specializes in the use 141 00:07:09,574 --> 00:07:12,004 of animals in uh research each mouse 142 00:07:12,004 --> 00:07:15,044 each is mouse 4 to 5 weeks old 143 00:07:15,044 --> 00:07:19,584 15 to 20 grams in weight and uh 144 00:07:19,584 --> 00:07:21,014 and their all genetically 145 00:07:21,014 --> 00:07:23,303 similar their all out friend mice 146 00:07:23,303 --> 00:07:25,833 when I received the mice I put them 147 00:07:25,833 --> 00:07:28,053 all to separate 5 gallon aquariums 148 00:07:28,053 --> 00:07:31,813 thus eliminating the possibility of 149 00:07:31,813 --> 00:07:34,043 um subject destruction 150 00:07:34,043 --> 00:07:35,770 *crowd is laughing from joke 151 00:07:35,770 --> 00:07:38,390 I, I also gave the each mouse a 152 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:42,940 ceratin amount of food light and water 153 00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:46,030 The uh receives 12 hours of light and 154 00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:50,220 music this year was kept 10 at hours a day 155 00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:52,700 at 70 decibels which seem a little more 156 00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:56,010 moderate than 24 hours a day at 90 decibels 157 00:07:59,050 --> 00:08:01,110 the uh 72 mice which i had obtained from 158 00:08:01,110 --> 00:08:03,973 Harland Spray Garley i dived into three 159 00:08:03,973 --> 00:08:06,033 different groups again but this year 160 00:08:06,033 --> 00:08:08,343 i had a small variation of that I 161 00:08:08,343 --> 00:08:10,233 had the control group once again which 162 00:08:10,233 --> 00:08:12,133 was suppose to simulate just how 163 00:08:12,133 --> 00:08:14,143 much a regular mouse should learn . 164 00:08:14,143 --> 00:08:16,433 the classical group this year 165 00:08:16,433 --> 00:08:18,743 listen to mozart and i decide on mozart 166 00:08:18,743 --> 00:08:22,613 because through the past year the 167 00:08:22,613 --> 00:08:24,983 research i had done it seem that mozart 168 00:08:24,983 --> 00:08:26,983 was used the most in other studies done 169 00:08:26,983 --> 00:08:29,583 with in music and then I used once again 170 00:08:29,583 --> 00:08:31,453 Used the anthrax Cd or the hard 171 00:08:31,453 --> 00:08:37,463 rock group this is a picture of the 172 00:08:37,463 --> 00:08:41,993 anthrax cd and it was probably the only 173 00:08:41,993 --> 00:08:44,053 side of the cover that I can show was 174 00:08:44,053 --> 00:08:46,803 decent I'm going to play a you a 175 00:08:46,803 --> 00:08:51,753 very short excerpt from the cd um 176 00:08:51,753 --> 00:08:53,313 if i made it lengthy i don't think 177 00:08:53,313 --> 00:08:55,173 anybody would stay 178 00:08:55,173 --> 00:09:06,573 *inaudible speaking from the crowd 179 00:09:06,573 --> 00:09:10,573 *David putting the cd in the cd player 180 00:09:10,573 --> 00:09:21,423 *anthrax is playing 181 00:09:21,423 --> 00:09:25,423 *Crowd Laughs 182 00:09:28,576 --> 00:09:31,426 * David switches to Classical music 183 00:09:31,426 --> 00:09:36,686 *inaudible speaking from david 184 00:10:14,760 --> 00:11:07,370 *Mozart is playing 185 00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:12,268 That was probably much more pleasant 186 00:11:12,621 --> 00:11:14,471 Upon arrival each mouse was 187 00:11:14,471 --> 00:11:17,341 individually weighed in order to make 188 00:11:17,341 --> 00:11:19,431 sure that they were healthy and 189 00:11:19,431 --> 00:11:20,671 throughout the rest of project each 190 00:11:20,671 --> 00:11:22,971 week the mice were weighed 191 00:11:22,971 --> 00:11:24,831 in order to make sure they stayed 192 00:11:24,831 --> 00:11:26,881 within the healrhy growth curve if the 193 00:11:26,881 --> 00:11:29,761 mice were to suddenly drop in weight the 194 00:11:29,761 --> 00:11:31,758 project would have to stop because 195 00:11:31,758 --> 00:11:34,578 the indication of stress or sickness 196 00:11:34,578 --> 00:11:39,568 caused by the music and this graph 197 00:11:39,568 --> 00:11:43,438 gives you a, a color version I guess of 198 00:11:43,438 --> 00:11:46,298 the growth curve of the mice the red 199 00:11:46,298 --> 00:11:49,198 represent the hard rock or heavy metal 200 00:11:49,198 --> 00:11:51,468 the green represent the control and the 201 00:11:51,468 --> 00:11:54,638 blue represent the classical even though 202 00:11:54,638 --> 00:11:57,598 it looks likes the hard rock makes a 203 00:11:57,598 --> 00:12:00,118 drastic change from week 2 to 3 204 00:12:00,118 --> 00:12:05,368 it still remain within the growth 205 00:12:05,368 --> 00:12:07,618 curve what I did was upon arrival 206 00:12:07,618 --> 00:12:08,828 caused I said the mice were 207 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:10,528 put into their individual cages 208 00:12:10,528 -->
