- So, I agreed to teach a group of 4-6 year olds something cool about the brain... in 10 minutes. Any suggestions for a fail-proof activity? I love these ellenjmchenry.com/brain-hemisp... but the cutting/pasting will be too hard for kindergarten I think.
- Did a lot of outreach at Northwestern with other grad students there for a yearly "brain fair". Some fun things I remember: 1. Optical illusions are always fun 2. Put a sheep brain from the butcher in a blender to show brains are mostly fat
- 3. Backyard brains ephys stim kit hooked up to a cockroach leg. Play james brown from an iphone. Our body is electric! 4. Driving a lego mindstorms car w/ EMG signals from a surface electrode on the biceps. Pseudo-BCI demo!Jan 27, 2026 19:01
