What are the ethics of running a randomized trial to test the effectiveness of dopamine spikes on school test scores. By giving candy to only half of the kids in an elementary school classroom, right before a test, and telling everyone else they can’t have any sugar. Then gambling on the outcome.

God I hope not 😂 Just a random idea that made me crack up when reading about the overlaps between dopamine, genius, autism, and psychopathy. 😂 A test about problem solving performance based on dopamine designed by a psychopath.
