Psychology Conference 12/11/12

I had no lessons last Monday because I attended a conference at the Colston Hall, titled : "Science and Pseudoscience". Throughout the day we had talks, ranging in length from 30 minutes to about an hour. First of all we were told to be sceptical, then the psychologist who organised the event defended the integrity and importance of lab experiments (probably the most relevant part to my studies, but not the most interesting). "Dr Dance" Peter Lovatt told us some surprising things about the psychology of dance and attraction, then after a lunch break, we were treated to some magic tricks and learned that psychology could help change the world. Finally, it was time for the most humorous part of the day, hypnosis, in which a boy was stuck with his finger up his nose and other participants cuddled up to each other - it was hilarious!
