Because twins were connected in the womb, I think that twins can read each others minds and they will gett the most questions the same at the same time.

• One twin (sender) received a shock while the other (receiver) stayed relaxed.

• Researcher "GB" monitored the relaxed twin's data.

• GB correctly identified the shock timing 18 times.
• The study suggests a mental connection or "linked minds" between twins.

Independent Variable: The group members.

Dependent Variable: How many questions each group answers the same way at the same time.

Constant: The questions being asked in the experiment will be the same for each group.

1. The twins will be placed in different rooms and recorded.
2. In the recording, they will be asked to stand on one foot, make a funny face, take a picture with their hands, and show what they would do on a phone call.
3. The same will be done with the siblings.
4. The same will be done with the friends.
5. The same will be done with the strangers.

Twins: Twins.MOV

Standing on one foot: Almost the same, just different feet at different times.  Making a silly face: Both stuck out their tongues, but at different angles. Taking a photo with hands: Same action, different hands. Being on a phone call: different actions with opposite hands, not alike. Generally: None were exactly the same, but phone call was completely different.

Siblings: Siblings (1).mov Standing on one foot: Basically the same, slightly at different times, but one foot was higher than the other’s foot. Making a silly face: Both stuck out tongues, but one was forward and very enthusiastic and the other was sideways, hands holding the sides of mouth and less enthusiastic. Taking a photo with hands: The same, but at different times. Being on a phone call: Same action, different hands. Generally: 1&3 were the same but slightly different timing, and the rest were almost the same.

Friends: Friends.MOV Standing on one foot: Same foot and almost at the same time. Making a silly face: Both stuck out tongue, but did different things with hands. Taking a photo with hands: same action, but only one actually pressed an imaginary button. Being on a phone call: Different actions with different hands, not the same at all. Generally: Only 1 was the same but at a different time, the rest were slightly different.

Strangers: Strangers.MOV Standing on one foot: same action, different feet at slightly different times. Making a silly face: Both stuck out tongues, but in different directions, and one did things with eyes as well. Taking a photo with hands: Same action, but at slightly different times. Being on a phone call: Same action, same hand, different times. Generally: Mainly the same with slight differences and slight time differences as well.

(this is all copy pasted from log book :))

Siblings got best score because of similarity in actions, Twins and strangers were tied together with the lowest similarity, and friends were somewhere in the middle.

Based on the experiment data, twin telepathy does not exist because they did not get the highest score. However, as I predicted, strangers got the lowest score.

• Use more twins to make experiment more accurate
• Do not let other groups see the experiment happen so that they know what to do and mess up the data

• Twins might not be able to read each other's minds, but can they think relatively the same? I think I should have said that twins can think similarly and not that they can read each other's minds.
• The siblings had a stronger connection than the twins and I think that might have messed up the data. Next time, I should use more sets of each category.
• use less generic questions that people don't all answer the same way (taking a photo, for example) and instead use unique questions or use more questions.
