FAIRGROUND BRAINS
Activities at this colourful Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging stall on Broad Street included 'guess the age of the brain', ‘brain snap’ and a very popular game demonstrating how the brain adapts when wearing prism glasses that shift your vision to the right.
21ST CENTURY PHRENOLOGY
Researchers put on a 20-minute play at the Museum of Natural History charting the history of modern neuroimaging, from Gall and his phrenology, through to large population studies using MRI. The cast included: Holly Bridge, Heidi Johansen-Berg, Saad Jbabdi and Stuart Clare, plus others from the Departments of Psychiatry and Experimental Psychology.
