The Life Science Learning Center in Zurich opens its doors to you! For five days, you will discover more about the human brain and neuroscience imaging techniques. This week of scientific discoveries is offered by the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) to young people from all Switzerland who will pass their high school diploma (Maturity) in 2023, 2024 or 2025.
Themes of the week :
- How can we visualize the brain and its activities?
- What do we know about neuronal activity?
- How are our movements controlled?
- How can we present and interpret the data from brain images?
- How is neuroscience research done?
The detailed program will be provided in due time to the selected participants.
