This website includes articles, videos, animations, fun tests, and online experiments that complement the book Quirkology by Professor Richard Wiseman on unusual aspects of human behaviour. A page on the website links to six short videos on the popular Quirkology YouTube Channel that illustrate some of the psychological phenomena discussed in the book. The videos cover the colour-changing card trick (illustrating a phenomenon known as change blindness); the psychological card trick; mathematical prediction; the missing piece; a disappearing trick involving a mirror; changing frames of reference. A DVD is available that contains high resolution versions of the videos for use in teaching.

ScienceHack is a search engine for science videos. The site does not itself host videos but indexes them from sources such as YouTube and Metacafe. All videos included in the database have been approved by a panel of scientists for accuracy and quality. At the moment there are relatively few videos listed under each topic heading, but a section on the home page lists latest additions to the database.

To celebrate the range of scientific issues discussed during the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary year the Science Sees Further website has been set up. It offers all those interested in science an opportunity to look at the key scientific issues of today, and those of tomorrow. The site is arranged in 12 chapters based on the subjects of the year’s discussion meetings - the ageing process, biological diversity, cognition and computation, cultural diversity, extra-terrestrial life, geoengineering, global sustainability, greenhouse gases, new vaccines, stem cell biology, uncertainty in science, and web science. Each section comprises an attractive subject summary (authored by the meeting organisers), short historical context using material from the Society’s Centre for History of Science, as well as interactive audio and video material.

The Visual Cognition Lab of the University of Illinois has created a number of videos that show the limits of perception, attention, and awareness. The videos come from Professor Daniel Simons’ experiments on visual awareness, and demonstrate how different viewers will see different things in seemingly simple actions. The videos include A Person Change Video, Changes Across Cuts in a Motion Picture, and A Subject in a Real-World Person Change Event . All require QuickTime or Java. A famous Simons experiment, the ‘basketball’ video, is available as a Java applet, from http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/media/sciam.html. The videos, which cannot be downloaded, are also available for purchase on a DVD, Surprising Studies of Visual Awareness.
