The Visual Cognition Lab is bringing crowdfunded research to UBC. Our research uses Ouija boards to study the subconscious, and we have already published one paper in 2012 showing our method successfully reveals unconscious knowledge. While our research was extremely popular, continuing our research on Ouijas has proven difficult to find funding for. This made it a prime candidate for crowdfunding, which favours interesting and innovative research. We want to show that crowdfunding can give many projects that wouldn’t get funded normally a chance, while engaging and educating the public in a dialogue on current research.
