Psychology and Magic
Section Info:
Psychology and Magic The past decade has seen a surge of research on the science of magic, including research by psychologists on how people perceive magic effects, insights from magicians into the mechanisms of attention/perception underlying their craft, and collaborations between scientists and magicians to better understand both magic and cognition. For this course, we will read about and discuss the latest research on the psychology of magic. As part of the course, we will attempt to develop experiments that either use magic to study attention or test magical theories using methods from attention/perception research.
