Haha, i love that one. I use it to start my lecture on mimicry/mirror neurons.

You teach psych Pandora?
(And from the word lecture I get the impression it's at a university and not a high school, lol).

Yes, i do. At a UK university. I specialize in cognitive neuroscience.

Just curious, what would be wrong with a counter-explanation that the folks in the elevator turned around because of face-to-face-with-strangers-uncomfortability?

I of course realize it wouldn't fit as a lead-in to neuron mimicry.

Also, consider what would happen in the southern or western states, where folks are more social. There could be a difference.

nicely spotted, Foil. Very good counter that I hadn't thought of before. Would be great if one of my students would actually come up with something like this

(also, I have watched it some many times now, I strongly suspect that at least parts of it are staged).

I think that would actually be fun
