    About the lecture

    A clock simply measures the passage of time… but it turns out that it can reveal much about ourselves.  There is a rich history in neuroscience of tracking reaction times as a key external measure of the inner workings of the human brain… and it is affected by many factors.

     

    Greg Gage, in his lecture, will use live demonstrations to show how DIY tools in the makerspace are being used to answer deep questions about neuron velocity, texting while driving, decision making, and much more!

    NELT company organizes the fourth cycle of the NELT educational program for students, in cooperation with the Nova Iskra and G12HUB.
