£21,650

We will deliver a programme of interactive adult events, shows and educational resources as part of our exhibition on perception scheduled from July-December 2013. The programme aims to raise awareness of: 1. the importance of our senses to our physical and emotional state and the challenges individuals with altered senses/perception face 2. the world class, local research into senses and perception, thereby enhancing the community's understanding of, and appreciation for, the impact of scientific research on improving the quality of life of individuals with sensory disorders and altered perception We will deliver five interactive adult events during Sep-Nov 2013 (Vision, Hearing, Taste and Smell, Touch and Pain, Body Image). Audiences will explore their senses through hands-on activities while learning about the anatomy and physiology of the senses, and how the brain organises, identifies and interprets external signals to help us understand the world. The audience will d irectly experience the effects that altered (lost, reduced or enhanced) senses/perception have on an individuals physical and emotional state. Scientists and consultants will talk to the participants about what they are experiencing, and relate that to their own research in advancing medical sciences. The interactive show and workshop will take two forms: a long form linked to the school curriculum, suitable for school audiences; and a short-form suitable for use in the Centre for the general public during our exhibition (July-December). This will continue to be delivered as part of our schools programme after the exhibition.
