Cigarette donations benefit research
The CNS Lab is currently amassing a standardized set of photographs of smoking and cigarettes that scientists around the world will be able to use. Your old cigarettes will be used in creating this database of images. Using the exact same stimuli in scientific research is critical. For example, recent smoking research published in the journal Psychopharmacology found that images of cigarettes being finished (e.g., small amount of cigarette remaining, putting out a cigarette) is actually aversive to the smokers brain (Mucha, Pauli, Weber & Winkler, 2008). This is very important for smoking scientists to consider, as it has been verified that smoking images are reflexively pleasant to the smokers’ brain (Dempsey, Cohen, Hobson & Randall, 2007). Choosing the wrong images to use in a study could mean confounded results, conclusions, and potentially poor treatment suggestions. Your cigarettes will be used to create a standardized set of smoking images, which will be made freely available to scientists around the world.
