Decode the mysteries of the brain and discover how neural circuits create thoughts, memories, and behaviors.
What makes you "you"? How does your brain create consciousness, form memories, and control every move you make? Hack into the incredible world of neuroscience to explore how billions of neurons work together to generate everything from reflexes to complex emotions. Discover how understanding your brain's wiring can help you hack your own behavior—boost your memory, overcome fears, and change bad habits by rewiring neural pathways. Step into the shoes of a neurologist to investigate dramatic cases like stroke patients who can't recognize faces and people whose personalities completely change after brain injuries. Get hands-on with an actual brain dissection, analyze real brain scans to spot damage, and master neurological tests doctors use to diagnose concussions and diseases. Conduct experiments on reaction time and perception, then develop personal "brain hacks" for better focus and learning. Discover how neuroscientists are revolutionizing treatments for stroke, epilepsy, and mental health disorders while learning to hack your own brain's potential.
What you'll do
Dissect a Real Brain
Get hands-on with an actual sheep brain dissection to explore the physical structures behind thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Perform Neurological Exams
Learn the same tests neurologists use to diagnose brain injuries and diseases. Test reflexes with a reflex hammer, examine balance and coordination, assess cognitive function, and practice the Glasgow Coma Scale used in emergency medicine.
Analyze Brain Scans & Cases
Examine real MRI and CT scans to identify strokes, tumors, and brain injuries. Study fascinating case studies like Phineas Gage, patients with split-brain syndrome, and people with rare neurological conditions that reveal how different brain regions work.
Hack Your Mental Performance
Apply neuroscience principles to develop personalized strategies for better focus, memory, and mood regulation. Test your own reflexes, reaction time, and cognitive biases, then design "brain training" protocols based on real neuroplasticity research.
