Emotional Contagion

Are emotions infectious? Why can one person make a previously upbeat group feel glum? How does empathy work? Experience emotional contagion yourselves and chat to the artist and neuroscientists behind Chameleon, an interactive video and sound art installation.

Read the poem this event has inspired: The four minute war, by Heidi Williamson, our poet-in-residence.

The Science Museum
