Cafe Scientifique: The Supernatural Sense December 11, 2007

Bruce Hood (University of Bristol)

Approximately 70 to 80% of the general public believes in the reality of supernatural phenomena such as spirits, ghosts, telepathy and so on. Why do most educated adults believe in these hidden energies, forces or spirits, despite all the scientific evidence to the contrary? It cannot be through ignorance.

Bruce Hood undertook his Ph.D. at Cambridge and held positions at UCL, MIT and Harvard before returning to take up the University of Bristol’s Chair of Developmental Psychology in 1999.

7:30 for an 8pm start.
