Northern Ireland Science Festival Presents Hack Your Brain
A whirlwind introduction to the brain and nervous system! Packed with memorable large-scale demos, you’ll create a giant neuron live on stage to explore how nerve cells communicate.
Then, watch as we hijack those signals to control someone’s movements (preferably a teacher!)! Along the way we investigate what this tells us about how we learn, helping students understand their brains better, and learn how to make the most of them.
