Our hypothesis was that the closer we poked the test subject to their arm (the place where the electrodes were), the faster their response time would be. Based on our current observations, this appears to be correct.
Marie also has superpowers because in these results and in subsequent tests (data not published here), Marie responded at almost the exact same time as poked, leading to almost zero reaction time.. This leads us to belive that she could possibly have extrasensory perception, as there is no other explanation; she did not hear anybody coming and we did not give her the opporunity to anticipate it.
