Can you think of a way to do this that would not feel like a freak show? Psych hospitals are full of staff who actually need to talk the the patients, plus students and interns and the patients' friends and family who visit. Almost all the patients get tired of being asked about how they're doing, since they have to explain how they're doing so many times a day to a lot of near-strangers. Introducing tourists seems like a bad plan.
I think the idea was to find psych patients willing to speak with one or more Bayesians about whatever interesting beliefs that got them there in the first place, and let them furiously jot down notes and do all kinds of arcane math in the process.
