Magicians are master choreographers of attention. The success of their misdirection often lies in their eye movements and the eye movements of their audiences. In this presentation, Dr. Barnhart will highlight the myriad relationships between eye movements and awareness, using live performance and video to demonstrate discoveries from his laboratory. He will attempt to convince you that psychological science can benefit from examining the techniques of performing magicians and integrating them into experimental studies.
