Goofy Goggles
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Think your aim is sharp? Try it with your vision shifted! At this station, you’ll throw bean bags at a target—first with normal vision, then while wearing prism goggles that bend your visual field. As your throws go hilariously off-course, your brain begins to adapt in real time. This hands-on challenge reveals the power of neuroplasticity, or how your brain rewires itself through practice. It’s fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly brainy. Come test your toss and see your brain in action!
