Senses and Perception

• Discover the fascinating science behind how we perceive the world in this immersive exhibit. Test whether you’re a supertaster and explore how compounds can alter taste. Uncover the connection between smell and memory as scents transport you to the past.

• Challenge your vision with mind-bending illusions and experience the McGurk Effect, where sight and sound combine to change what you hear. Visualize sound waves on an oscilloscope and see how vibrations create the sounds we hear.

• Finally, explore touch by experimenting with temperature perception and experiencing the "Pinocchio Effect," where it feels like your nose is expanding or shrinking. This hands-on exhibit reveals how your senses work together to shape your reality.
