ESP Biography

How does your brain inform you whether your dinner plate is filled with a juicy steak or a smelly pile of mush? And how does the brain use this information to guide your behavior (i.e. should you eat whatever is on your plate?). In the first part of this class, students will learn about the way neurons in the brain communicate with one another. Then, students will divide into groups, each group representing one part of the brain, and each student acting out a neuron in that brain region. We'll see if students can successfully send a message between brain regions by speaking the "language of the brain"

Students will dance to a neuroscience-themed parody of a famous song. We will also have a singalong with various percussion instruments and a guitar. Get ready to dance your brains out!
