Mind Matters: The Science of Magic

Dr Gustav Kuhn and Dr Megan Freeth explore the neurology behind our experiences of what seems impossible. Using psychology they explain why it's possible for us to be so easily deceived by visual illusions through exploiting gaps in our consciousness. They also provide a demonstration using eye-tracking technology to illustrate exactly where our eyes are looking and the power of misdirection.

Mind Matters is a talk series run by the University of Sheffield’s Department of Psychology. This series aims to bring psychological research to the public. This allows a chance for the public to learn more about what research goes on in the department and the real life implications of that research.
