The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Enjoy this great video where Dwight from The Office is trained with Pavlovian Classical Conditioning!

Wasn't that great?!

Not quite classical conditioning. Dwight is cued by the bell to expect an offered Altoid, but he only gets the reward for his interaction with the experimenter.

If the bell rang and the candy fell from a dispenser, Dwight could be classically trained. But since his action is required for the connections to be made, this training includes operant conditioning.
