Mirror Minds: Building with Words
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Can you build what your partner sees? Ever wonder how your brain helps you understand what others are thinking or feeling? At this booth, you’ll put your communication skills and your brain’s empathy powers to the test! Using colorful building blocks and a simple challenge, you’ll discover how mirror neurons help us connect, communicate, and collaborate. Can you describe your creation well enough for someone else to build it without showing them?
