Do nervous jitters actually help you do better?
Induce an anxious state in people (make them watch a 5 minute jump scare video) and then have them complete a reaction-time task to see if an aroused internal state effects performance. Compare this group with a control group. (this project could go in many different directions, there are lots of possibilities/variations!)
