Since 2006 Monia Brizzi consults with the Institute of Unnecessary Research to widen public engagement in Psychology.
“The mind, in short, works on the data it receives very much as a sculptor works on his block of clay…the world we feel and live in will be that which our ancestors and we, by slowly cumulative strokes of choice, have extricated out of this, like sculptors, by simply rejecting certain portions of the given stuff. Other sculptors, other statues from the same stone!” William James (The Principles of Psychology Volume One, 1890: 288, 289)
