Mirror Tracing
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Can you trace a star while only looking in a mirror? It’s trickier than it sounds, and it helped scientists unlock secrets of the brain. At this station, you’ll try the mirror tracing challenge and learn about Henry Molaison (H.M.), one of the most famous patients in neuroscience. Come test your coordination and explore the science of memory through one unforgettable experiment.
