Neurological damage from praying [Podcast 46]

Neurological damage from incessant praying, and an auctioneer’s jaw-drop-drop-dropping ailment — these things both turn up in this week’s Improbable Research podcast.

This week, Marc Abrahams  —with dramatic readings by Chris Cotsapas — tells about:



Praying-Induced Oromandibular Dystonia. (Tihomir V. Ilic, Monika Pötter, Iris Holler, Günther Deuschl, and Jens Volkmann (2005). ‘Praying-Induced Oromandibular Dystonia.’ Movement Disorders 20 (3): 385–86.)praying
An Auctioneer’s Jaw-drop-drop-dropping Ailment. (N. J. Scolding, S. M. Smith, S. Sturman, G. B. Brookes, and A. J. Lees (1995). ‘Auctioneer’s Jaw: A Case of Occupational Oromandibular Hemidystonia.’ Movement Disorders 10 (4): 508v9.)auctioneer

The mysterious John Schedler or the shadowy Bruce Petschek perhaps did the sound engineering this week.


The Improbable Research podcast is all about research that makes people LAUGH, then THINK — real research, about anything and everything, from everywhere —research that may be good or bad, important or trivial, valuable or worthless. CBS distributes it, on the CBS Play.it web site, and on iTunes and Spotify).
