Showcase of Donders Citylab experiments for researchers
Are you interested in large-scale data collection with a diverse population? Then a Donders Citylab micro-experiment might be it for you! Join us on the 4th of April to learn more about Donders Citylab micro-experiments. We’ll be discussing data quality and the lessons learned of the previous micro-experiments and how you can start to design your own. You will be able to meet the researchers and participate in a micro-experiment on a Donders Citylab kiosk. More information can be found here and let us know if you are coming.
Language evolution game @ InScience Film Festival
When March 16-17, 2024
Take part in a unique experiment where you’ll participate in a game of telephone, a popular game in which a message is passed on from person to person to see how the message changes. During this experiment, you will imitate gestures and sounds of the people before you and pass them forward so that those after you can also learn them. This way, we’ll create a chain of hundreds of people during the InScience weekend. Join and help researchers from Donders Citylab study how imitation and learning from other people shaped the evolution of language.

Find out during interactive workshop by Donders researcher Ezgi Mamus. She will let you experience these differences for yourself and tell you more about the science behind it.

Donders Citylab @ Re(M)ind
When: October 19, 2023
Donders Citylab in collaboration with NeuroTechEU University Alliance premiered a multimodal interactive artwork that integrates music, dance, and interactive graphics to depict stages of memory and consciousness.
Re(M)ind is an immersive experience where the audience is surrounded by soundscapes, human- and computer-generated music and graphics, and interactive dance blurring the boundaries between art, technology, and science. Re(M)ind engages and invites its audience to experience, introspect and contemplate human reality and the post-human future. Combining artistic expression with the latest technologies and insights into memory and consciousness, Re(M)ind stimulates the exploration of our deepest thoughts and perceptions, and projects forward to new shadows of an imagined future.
