Session Information
The Cell Detectives are going to show how our brain received signals from both our eyes and our ears to keep track of something we're looking at and show how we can trick the brain by spinning around in a swivel chair!
We're going to talk about how different parts of the brain do different jobs, like seeing, moving, and feeling, and we'll discuss how scientists found out how the brain works. We'll get hands-on by injuring some jelly brains and try to figure out what parts of the brain would be effected, what symptoms we'd expect, and why it's important to always look after your brain
