Each topic display will include some kind of interaction, so these are engaging presentations, inviting you to participate and experience the psychological phenomena for yourself. Students in PSYC 334 — Cognition have collaborated on the development of these projects for the last 2 months, and the outcome should be interesting and informative.
Everyone is invited to come, for either a couple of minutes, the full duration, or anything in-between. There will also be coffee, tea, and (hopefully) homemade baked goods.
