A bigger and better table would be nice.
Experimental procedure? Sample size? Means of measuring IQ?
"Reading/Swatting"?
Top 2 results sections: "200 first year students at Reading University".
Bottom results section: "50 children (aged 8-11) at Thameside School, Caversham were given regular breakfasts over a one month period."
Cite?
I found a power point from Kevin Warwick by googling for "Reading/Swatting -6" that included the data, but only lose references to the studies. I'll email him and ask.
Also, Kevin presents his results here:

1:35:00.
Is higher better or lower?
These are IQ deltas - so +ve values are good.
