Panel 10 - Psychological research on animals is useless
Psychological research on animals is useless to the comprehension of human psychology
"I discovered that experiments on animals offer only the illusion of control. By simplifying and segmenting the life of an organism, we create false data which, combined with the differences among species, make our efforts to apply the results to man, useless."
"My research had only shown an already known phenomenon... it was completely useless because the conditions under which the animals were studied didn't correspond to the human condition to which I considered applying the result to."
"I think Psychology is an important branch of study, but we need to experiment on our own life."

which lasts until he presses the lever. After one hour, the animal
stares at the light all the time, without interruption (Sweden)
