Alzheimer’s
Two different studies have correlated individuals having trouble smelling peanut butter with potential Alzheimer’s disorder. As reported on alzheimers.net, a test for this disease may be to cover your right nostril, open a jar of peanut butter a few inches away, and try to smell it. Trouble smelling it? It could be an indication of the disease.
Autism
A multinational research team, which published their results in eLife here, found individuals with varying Autism-Spectrum Quotient (QD) did not focus on the same aspects of this image (credit to the publishers and Discover Magazine):
For me, it looks like a spinning cylinder. High AQ individuals focused on front part of this, instead of seeing the “global, holistic” image.
Any others?
