Counterintuitive Fall 2024 
Clearly you are proposing to conduct an extensive first-person research study, which I find very appetizing. I can almost taste it.
You’ll want to incorporate allied areas of study, I imagine, such as the whole spectrum of suggestibility research. I’m thinking of how witnesses can be primed to “recall” crimes or crashes they witnessed but haven’t yet described. Or to make false identifications of suspects. Then there’s the background music in film, which can completely skew a viewer’s impressions of the visuals.
This is rich. Thanks for bringing us here.
