Science Buddies: Shaping Your Thoughts?

Curated by ACT

This is an experiment that explores certain aspects of how your brain pays attention. In this project, you'll have to recruit volunteers to take a simple test: naming a list of printed shapes. What makes the test tricky is that words will be printed on top of the shapes. The word/shape combination creates the potential for the brain to get conflicting information. Which information is more likely to grab your attention: the shape you are supposed to name or the word just waiting to be read?
