Help – a university needs somebody, not just anybody, to assist with a Beatles experiment.

Using the “cultural phenomenon” of the Fab Four as the template, researchers from the University of Wolverhampton are looking at how sensory cues can unlock memories.

The Research Team said it was particularly keen to hear from residents who attended Beatles concerts as it sought to discover how sight, touch, and even smell can influence recall.

The project forms part of Wolverhampton Literature Festival, which returns to the city between 6 and 8 February, with the memory experiment taking place on 8 February at SPACE between 13:00 and 15:00 GMT.
