What if you could feel your brain constructing reality in real time? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll step inside the strange illusions that reveal how consciousness works. Using only simple tools, we’ll trick the brain into believing your nose is growing, show how your body map can be bent and stretched, and explore online experiments that prove we unconsciously sense eye gaze as a real force. By the end, you won’t just understand the science of consciousness — you’ll have experienced it yourself. Click for more info.

Have you ever wondered how neurons in the brain communicate and connect to create thoughts, feelings, and movements?
In this interactive workshop, you’ll discover how electrical signals are generated in the brain and how they travel through neural networks. Click for more info.

Brain on electricity? No, on magnet!
Have you ever wondered how a magnet can influence the brain and trigger changes in its activity?
In this interactive workshop, participants will discover the principles of non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and learn how the brain’s responses can be measured in real time. Click for more info.

Have you ever seen or heard neural impulses? Did you know that our bodies constantly communicate through electrical signals—from neurons carrying our thoughts to muscles moving our bodies? Have you ever wondered what it feels like to control someone—or to be under someone else’s control? In this workshop, you’ll step into the exciting world of the body’s electrical signals, neural communication, and motor control using devices designed by Backyard Brains scientists.

Have you ever wondered what really happens when artificial intelligence (AI) writes text, generates images, or answers your questions?

If you’ve ever been curious about how ChatGPT “knows” what to say, how realistic images are created from text, or why AI sometimes gets things right and other times completely misses the point or starts to “hallucinate” — this workshop is your chance to understand it all through simple explanations and concrete examples. This session reveals how AI actually “thinks,” demystifying the core principles behind the technology that’s transforming the world. Click for more info.

How do you find the life-defining signal in a sea of electrical noise?

We’re continuing the Backyard Brains’ OpenLab workshop series (November 24 & 27 and December 1 & 4, 2025), taking you from the basics of measurement all the way to the final presentation of your mini research project.

In these workshops, you’ll have the chance to step into the role of a neuroscientist. You’ll turn your ideas into scientific hypotheses, test them through data collection and analysis, and finally design your own scientific poster and present your results — just like at a real scientific conference! Click for more info.

Are you faster than your own reflex? Does your dominant hand really send “stronger” signals than the non-dominant one?
Welcome to the third installment of the Backyard Brains’ OpenLab series (November 24 & 27, December 1 & 4, 2025), where participants dive into a key stage of the scientific process: conducting an experiment. Click for more info.

How do you turn a sea of complex information into a clear and engaging story?

In an era where science is constantly confronted with waves of misinformation, the ability to communicate facts clearly, accurately, and engagingly has become a crucial skill, not only for scientists, but for anyone who wants to contribute to a well-informed society. This workshop shows how even the most complex scientific ideas can be transformed into messages that audiences understand and remember. Click for more info.

How do you present your scientific discovery in the best possible way?
