Brain: The Inside Story

Set your neurons to hyperactive because this exhibit will stimulate your sensing brain and be sure to create long lasting and highly efficient, neural pathways. Psst, it means you'll like it and you'll have fond memories of the experience. The good folks at the American Museum of Natural History, with the help of Curator Rob DeSalle and 21st century technology, have broken down the brain in to manageable bits that even this author can understand.
The exhibit is broken into 5 categories; Your Sensing Brain, Your Emotional Brain, Your Thinking Brain, Your Changing Brain, and Your 21st Century Brain. The first three categories draw comparisons to our closest animal relatives, describing what each section of the brain specializes in. The Second two sections delve into how the human brain changes over time as well as some cool cybernetic terminator type stuff. Brain: The Inside Story makes excellent use of ;)
21st century technology like FMRI to demonstrate how the brain perceives and responds to external stimuli.
Speaking of external stimuli, just wait till you step foot into the exhibit. Artistic instillations by Spanish artist Daniel Canogar and artist Devorah Sperber confound the senses and help demonstrate how easily our brains can be fooled. Interactive stations have you speaking in Russian, tracing reflected objects, and connecting neurons. There's so much to learn your brain might just explode.
The brain may be somewhat of a mystery still and 21st century technology only takes us so far, but AMNH takes us to the edge of mankind's understanding of the brain and did it in a manner that thoroughly stimulated my neurons.
