The research teams

The experiments were run by six psychology students from The University of the West of England under the supervision of Dr Priscilla Heard. They were organised in collaboration with Dr Penny Fidler from At-Bristol and Sally Duensing, who at the time was Professor of the public understanding of science at Bristol University.

Dr Penny Fidler says,

"It’s a fantastic opportunity for our visitors to see how real research into the mind is done, and to meet the people doing that research. For the scientists it’s great because they get to use the huge cross-section of people we get into Explore – people of all different ages from tiny kids to great-grandparents, people from all over the country and abroad, and most importantly, people from all different walks of life."
