[1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving denser liquid or the solid ...
For this reason, many experiments in psychology are conducted in laboratory conditions where they can be more strictly regulated. Alternatively, some experiments are less controlled.

Psychophysiology measures exist in multiple domains; reports, electrophysiological studies, studies in neurochemistry, neuroimaging and behavioral methods.
