Event hosted by the Dept. of Psychology (www.psychol.cam.ac.uk).

This is part of “From drawing first breath to the election booth: A Lifespan Journey” Psychology Investigation Trail.

The second stop of the trail explores Touch and what we cannot touch. We invite you to discuss the role of touch from very early stages of life while helping us set up our physiological equipment to poke around your brain! Once the electrodes are all plugged in for our electroencephalography procedure and we reveal the rainbow of signal, it’s time to… touch!

The audience will interact with EEG by setting up an EEG cap and observing how touching individual electrodes affects the signal.
