Psychics, paranormal activity, precognition – psychologist and sceptic Chris French, of Goldsmiths, University of London, has spent his career subjecting paranormal claims to scientific scrutiny. He talks to the Wellcome Trust's Daniel Glaser about the powerful psychological factors that may explain why people continue to passionately believe in supernatural forces, which can be traced back to the beginnings of human evolutionary history.

This packed lunch event was recorded live on 19 October 2011 at Wellcome Collection.
