The MAGIC lab applies an interdisciplinary approach to studying human behaviour and cognition. Our efforts include, but are not limited to using magic to study a wide range of psychological questions, around consciousness, attention, perception, magical beliefs, deception, free will… We strongly encourage an interdisciplinary approach that allows us to bridge the gap between the real world knowledge acquired by magicians and the sciences (Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science…). We use a wide range of experimental methodologies, such as behavioural and neurophysiology measure, eye tracking, and natural observation to study behaviour and cognition in laboratory and real-world settings.
