How about: Seven mice HIGH ON METHAMPHETAMINE and forced to listen to The Prodigy died. None of the mine in the group that were given saline and also forced to listen to The Prodigy died. This study speculates that the beat in the aggressive music makes the drug more lethal--not that the music itself is lethal. TFA is so short I shouldn't even need to paste this in, but I'll do it anyway:
Noise Drug Mice used Died during Died within 24h Seizures (% total)
====================================================================================
Silence Saline 30 0 0 0
White noise Saline 29 0 0 0
Bach Saline 20 0 0 0
Prodigy Saline 29 0 0 0
Silence Meth 49 1 (=2.04%) 0 38.7
White noise Meth 30 0 0 63.3
Bach Meth 40 4 (=10%) 0 75.0
Prodigy Meth 40 2 (=5%) 3 (=7.5%) 77.5
As a laboratory mouse, if I had to die at the hands of any experimentation done in today's laboratory environment, I would have to say that this is probably the best way you could possibly go. Though an addition of little glow-sticks couldn't have hurt.
