Experiments have successfully used stem cells in the brains of children who suffered from injuries in gestation and elderly people with degenerative diseases in order to induce the brain to produce new cells and to make more connections between neurons.

Experiments have shown that people generally perceive an approximate 2 % cut in nominal income with no change in monetary value as unfair, but see a 2 % rise in nominal income where there is 4 % inflation as fair, despite them being almost rational equivalents.

Experiments with concrete symmetry groups make way for abstract group theory.

" Experiments such as the Stern – Gerlach experiment and quantum phenomena such as complementarity lead quantum physicists to conclude that " e have no satisfactory reason for ascribing objective existence to physical quantities as distinguished from the numbers obtained when we make the measurements which we correlate with them.

Experiments and computational models in Multimodal integration have shown that sensory input from different senses is integrated in a statistically optimal way, in addition, it appears that the kind of inferences used to infer single sources for multiple sensory inputs uses a Bayesian inference about the causal origin of the sensory stimuli.

Experiments revealed that people's attributional inferences looked very much like the attributional inferences that a thinking system would generate if it was relying on formal attributional rules such as the calculus of non-common effects, the covariation and discounting principles and so on.

Experiments can vary from personal and informal ( e. g. tasting a range of chocolates to find a favourite ), to highly controlled ( e. g. tests requiring complex apparatus overseen by many scientists hoping to discover information about subatomic particles ).
