Touch & Perception
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! At this interactive station, you’ll explore the incredible sensitivity of your skin and how your brain interprets touch. Try the two-point discrimination test to see which parts of your body are most precise, dive into a sensory mystery bag to identify objects using only your fingertips, and experience how your perception of temperature changes through sensory adaptation.
