SUMMARY:The Magic of the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Psychologists\, neuroscientists\, engineers and magicians will join forces at Aberdeen Art Gallery on Thursday 18 June for The Magic of the Mind\, a free public event exploring the mysteries of the human mind. \nThe event is the flagship event of a year-long programme celebrating the 130th anniversary of the School of Psychology at the University of Aberdeen. Founded in 1896\, Aberdeen is home to the oldest psychology department in the UK. In collaboration with the Institute of Medical Sciences\, the School of Engineering and the Aberdeen Magical Society\, The Magic of the Mind will bring together more than 60 researchers\, students and performers for one of the largest public engagement events ever organised by the University of Aberdeen. \nHighlights include: \n– Live magic performances throughout the evening by the Aberdeen Magical Society\, which is also celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.\n– Interactive robots from the School of Engineering\, including robots with distinct personalities and technologies developed to support stroke rehabilitation.\n– Immersive virtual reality experiences that alter perception and sense of self.\n– Human-AI interactions that test whether you can spot-a-bot.\n– Hands-on Ouija board demonstrations revealing the psychological forces behind their seemingly supernatural movements.\n– Mind-bending visual illusions that make people appear to shrink\, grow or defy perspective.\n– Live eyewitness identification experiments demonstrating how our memories can sometimes mislead us.\n– Real-time brain activity demonstrations (EEG) led by researchers from the Institute of Medical Sciences. \nThe Magic of the Mind is family friendly and free to attend\, but advance booking is required.
