So, basically I work on cognitive neuroscience which you can think of interaction between psychology and neuroscience. And I have to submit a PhD proposal application for DAAD funding before 20th Oct, and prospective supervisor asked to do last minute changes. I have to rework on whole proposal now by tonight, scraping off 2/3rd of the proposal and adding few new studies related to EEG and brain activity.

So, is it true that people only use a small percentage of their brain or people are just that stupid?
Just kidding :)
Good luck getting that DAAD.
