playing battleship on drugs


Measuring response times of a guy zonked on morphine - the experimenter read certain words at the patient to see how fast they responded by pushing a button that turned on the lights.

the darrow photopolygraph drug chair


Measures a patient's mental and physical reaction to slang references to drugs. In this test a researcher in an adjoining room shows the addict words such as "dope" and "informer" and then measures their psyichal responses (facial reactions, pulse, blood pressure, breathing and galvanic skin response (a change in the skin's electrical conductivity due to stress) as well as verbal responses via the mic.

Tests often conducted on inmates under the influence of narcotics - both patients and doctors I presume.

binova motorized kitchen

design by Emanuel Gargano and Marco Fagioli (that middle part sinks down flush with teh rest of the counter)

The kitchen draws inspirations from places such as craftsmen and mechanical workshops. The large central body contains a motorized integrated cabinet that can be lifted up showing all the utensils used in the preparation, cooking and washing of food, as if it were a blacksmith's or carpenter's bench. The double-sided motorized cabinet can house, within a single space, not only kitchen utensils but also elements used in living areas such as monitors, DVD/CD players and a mobile bar. A vertical beveled edge on each door serves as a cabinet handle, providing for a clean unobstructed front view. The big kitchen worktop is again a continuous, functional strip, a light, decisive sign of a formal, rigorous operation creating a large working area.
