Dear Sherry,
I suggest visiting:
channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/brain-games/
It's National Geographic's Brain Games. I caught a couple episodes a
while ago and while some of the stuff would be hard to do in a museum
setting, some of it would be quite easy. Not only that, my 12 year old
son voluntarily watched every moment of it and loved it. He would love
to try some of the experiments on his own.
The show deals with perception, memory and visual and optical tricks and
illusions.
Good luck!

Hi Sherry,
Last weekend, as part of our annual science festival, a group of eleven
PhD candidates in neuroscience/psychology/biomedical engineering put on
The Amazing Brain Carnival. This event is the capstone project for a
science communication program we've been doing for five years; they will
do a reprise for our Neuroday event on March 3, 2012. Each of them
designed or adapted a hands-on activity, with theming, signage,
relationship to their research, type of research, etc. Together they
interconnect their activities with content, goals, learning objectives,
etc. This year's group organized the room around a concept map that
color-coded the content they wanted to cover: parts of the brain, mental
abilities, viewing the world, ways to study the brain.
So, three of them dealt with memory in some way through their activity,
explanatory signage, or description of their research (short-term or
long-term memory, decisionmaking, learning). Though they're very busy,
they and our faculty liaison at Washington University might be
interested in seeing whether their work could help you.
You can contact me off-list if you'd like to pursue this. Ignore typos!
I'm using my iPhone.

Anyone have any good suggestions of a single/stand alone (not a full
exhibition) interactive dealing with memory or the brain? We are
looking to supplement a current exhibition, but need something with a
wow factor, and definitely want truly interactive. We have seen lots of
pre-established exhibitions that don't want to sell just components.
Any ideas?
