With over 40 new exhibits about thinking and feeling joining the Museum's permanent collection, plus programs, temporary exhibitions, and special events, working with expert advisors the MIND team spent over four years researching the cognitive sciences to create provocative and compelling experiences that will illuminate the way our minds work. Mind is not only about emotions, however. Fast Faces exposes why my ability to recognize a famous person is more fragile than I might think. At Daisy, a conversation with a computer raises questions as to whether its responses are evidence of consciousness. At Color Your Judgment, I discovered how expectations can cloud my ability to interpret new experiences.
The public activities and programs at Mind allows visitors to test their theories of identity, explore the cognitive processes of nonhuman animals and discuss current research with mind scientists. I had a fantastic time at this web site learning so much more about myself in a short time period and consider the web site to be 'must visit'.
