MAGICAL MEMORY TOUR.COM //
Roll up for the Magical Memory Tour
The University of Leeds commisioned us to design and build the magical memory tour a new website are asking people to blog their memories of
the Beatles to create the biggest database of "autobiographical
memories" ever attempted.
The online survey, devised by
psychologists Professor Martin Conway and Dr Catriona Morrison from the
Leeds Memory Group, aims to enhance our understanding of human memory
by uncovering the role The Beatles and their music play in our personal
histories.
As global pop icons, the impact of the life, times and music of The Beatles spans different generations countries and cultures.
The survey is aimed at
anyone, anywhere who has a memory relating to the Beatles (you don't
have to be a fan to get involved!). Participants should think about the
first thing that comes to mind from their life that is related to the
Beatles. It may be a very vivid memory relating to a particular album,
song, news story - or even band member.
At
www.magicalmemorytour.com participants will have the opportunity to
input their own memories and explore other people's. They can find out
which albums evoke the most memories; which songs evoke positive or
negative memories; which news events are most vividly remembered.
Launched
in partnership with the BA as part of National Science and Engineering
Week (7-16 March), results from the survey will be launched at the BA
Festival of Science (6 - 11 September) in Liverpool.
