University of Zurich performs an experiment that rewards participants in Bitcoins:

That's probably the first time Bitcoin is used for scientific research. Bitcoin is a great choice as it allows for anonymous incentives.

Well, looks like the experiment has ended; they're still accepting the survey but payments are over.
10 mBTC isn't huge, but what's important is that they thought of using Bitcoin as a reward, opening a new way of using Bitcoins.
It's a funny question they've put up. Don't really see what result they will get out of the questions, but hey ho. Will report back if I happen to get the reward paid out.
I didn't know this was still active. Last time I checked, it was disabled.
Nonetheless I participated today. But it says "Payouts are already scheduled to take place by December 31st 2014."
Never mind
