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?
