-====== Experiment Design ======
+====== Social Experiment Design 設計社會實驗======
 Equipped with new ideas and some new knowledge regarding the sensory and perception process, the students practiced planning, designing, and conducting experiments. The goals were to further explore and see if they could influence or affect people’s perception, and later if they could influence or change how people behaved. At the same time, the students practiced the process involved in experiment design, including identifying a question, literature review, formulation of a hypothesis, setting variables and subject groups, planning the experiment procedures, and of course later the academic research reporting steps of data collection, analysis, discussion, and conclusion.
+===== The Drink Test =====
+As a preliminary experiment in the perception process, we conducted a simple test which involved many of our neighbors and friends. Volunteers were asked to participate in a taste test to see if they could properly identify three commonly consumed carbonated drinks. One group of respondents gave answers under the circumstance of a blind taste-test. What we found was that even though people may have stated brand preferences, their ability to  actually identify and differentiate between certain products is not as high as they may think.
+A second run of this experiment allowed respondents to see what they were drinking, but included one drink which had been altered with non-flavored food coloring. This version of the taste test provided even more interesting results, showing us that disrupting even one factor in the organization step of the perception process was enough to completely impede normal perception.

+==== Creating an Experiment Testing Influence on Perception ====
+Each student discusses a topic or phenomenon they are interested in that is related to perception. The background and impetus of their research project is explained, and the students propose hypotheses about what they might be able to do to influence others' perceptions regarding their topic. The methods for testing these hypotheses are also put forward.
