Put Your Memory to the Test in Our Online Experiment
from the Guardian (UK)
Whether we want to remember our last birthday party, our first love, a shopping list or where in the world we put those reading glasses, memory is indispensable. That each and every one of us regularly depends on it is what makes memory the captivating research area it is.
There are many aspects of memory that we and other researchers study in the laboratory, but as valuable and important as lab research is, nothing beats taking it into the real world and sharing it with real people--which is why we are delighted to be part of this memory project with the Guardian. Your engagement with our research is a great opportunity not just to peek into the world of science but to enter and actively shape the course of our research. For us, it is a chance to share our interest in a topic that concerns everyone.

It will give you the chance to participate in and learn about a typical laboratory memory experiment and its impact on advancing our knowledge about the topic. The results will contribute a large amount of useful data to our research.
