Mind Frames, the psychology club of La Martiniere for Girls hosted the first psychology fair ‘Fairvoyance’. Questions and more about the complexities of the mind were answered with the help of tests and experiments at Fairvoyance. The students conducted a host of experiments on the visitors and explained them what the tests proved about the human mind. While one experiment explained ways to implement short-term memory, another got the guests thinking about memory associations.
The students also organised several activities for the visitors. Some experiments were fun to do, but the rubber hand experiment was rather scary. The participants had to his/her hand inside a box closed from the top. At the other end of the box, one of the students was rubbing the hand. In a similar fashion, another student was rubbing a rubber hand placed right next to the box. The participant was told to concentrate hard on the rubber hand and soon he/she started to feel sensations on it.
The students conducted the experiments in a simple yet scientific manner all on their own.
