“Long Night of Science” is a an annual popular science event in Berlin, during which interested visitors can approach scientists, learn about what they do, and participate in short experiments.
For the 2019 edition, we prepared a short experiment, in which participants played a repeat-a-pattern game on a gamepad and we monitored their pupillary responses to received social feedback.
The mini-experiment was very popular and we got to record 40+ datasets! It was fun and informative for the visitors and a great learning experience for us – we had a chance to talk about our lab and communicate our research to the general public!
A big thank you goes to Lena Matyjek who organised the experiment and the stand, and to all the students who volunteered their time and conducted the recordings: Sarah Margo Gawronska, Theresa Weinstein, Ekin Gül Demirsoy and Luca Settembrino! 🙌🏻
