The Misery Machine

Made by Kristie Lord

My project is designed to question and challenge the accuracy of memory. I designed a light display with lights that light up in a specific order and then ask someone to replicate the design to me, the experimenter, in order like in Simon Says. However, the point is to intentionally tell the person that the correct order is wrong hence the name of the project. I then see how much a person's memory can be influenced.
