In collaboration with Yale Pathways to Science and the Wu Tsai Institute, Yale's Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program hosted the 17th annual Brain Education Day on March 29. Nearly 90 New Haven middle schoolers visited BrainWorks to learn about neuroscience and the brain from researchers across the Yale community.

The event included a “Brain Fair” with stations to “Ask a Scientist,” create optical illusions, learn about taste receptors, and more. At BrainWorks, students tried on EEG caps to see brain activity, practiced floating a ball using “mind control,” and tested motor control using a robotic claw.

Thanks to all the students, volunteers, and researchers who made the day unforgettable.

Do you know what an MRI machine does?

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner uses magnets to create images of where activity occurs in the brain. Come along to see how we prepare for an MRI scan.

It’s Brain Awareness Week! 🧠💡

From March 16-22, scientists all over the world are sharing how research helps us understand the brain and the experiences that make us human. Here in New Haven, that work happens every day at BrainWorks.

Yale researchers study perception, memory, learning, and behavior using advanced tools designed to safely measure brain activity. Many of these studies are only possible thanks to volunteer participants from the local community.

Over the next few weeks, we will share a look inside BrainWorks and the research that happens here every day.

In October, BrainWorks joined over 80 street vendors and non-profits in this fall’s edition of the New Haven Night Market.

Our volunteers talked about their research and answered visitors’ questions about the mind and the brain while showing neuroscience demos.

Thank you for having us, Downtown NHV!
