I watched the Horizon on iPlayer last night after a few of our attendees at the event yesterday mentioned having seen the rubber hand illusion. It was a good Horizon, all the better for being in HD and so not rubbish looking on my laptop! Peter - please do drop me an email if you'd like to talk more about the event and a project we are working on around this phenomenon. Best wishes, Pamela __________________________________ Entries for the National Science & Engineering Competition 2010-2011 close on 31 October .

It's gone down really well. You might not be able to attend, but if it's at all relevant you could contact Pam Buchan, Regional Officer for the North for the British Science Association who should be able to put you in touch with the man behind the event. http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/web/_ContactUs/_PamelaBuchan.htm Natalie Natalie Ireland Manchester Science Festival Director On 27 October 2010 12:01, Peter Collins <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm developing a science series for channel 4 called "The Human Experiment". It will look at how amazing the human brain and body is through a series of revealing experiments on real-life people. Each episode might look at a different theory and test it e.g. Men are more attracted to blonds, ginger people feel more pain. I wondered if anyone could point me to a useful resource that shows interesting psychological/physiological experiments that test ideas like the ones I mentioned. We're also looking for new talent to present the show, so if any of you know good medical/psychology scientists that would be good on TV then do let me know. Thanks and all the best, Peter ********************************************************************** 1.
