INTERNATIONAL BRAIN RESEARCH ORGANIZATION
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BOMBAY
Psychological laboratory of IIT-Bombay, in association with International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), is hosting ‘Brain Awareness Week’ from March 10-15, 2008. They are pleased to announce a fascinating week of activities such as poster presentations, movies, talks and quiz. For six days, they will be uncovering marvels of the human brain. The aim of this initiative is to spread awareness about brain, its functions and malfunctions. So, come and unravel mysteries of Human Brain through this program. The schedules are highlighted below:
Day 1 Mysteries of Brain : Come and ‘learn about your brain’. Have you wondered “What is our brain like?” “How do we sense things around us?” “How do we react to our environment?”
Special Focus: Brain Hemispheres and Nervous Systems
Day 2 Miracles of Brain: Walk-in and understand the ‘complexity’ of brain. Isn’t it a wonder “How we learn and remember things?”, “How do we learn and communicate?” and “How do we solve our problems?”
Special Focus: Learning, Memory, Language, and Problem Solving
Day 3 Misbehaving Brain: Know the facts… Mishaps happen in our lives! “What happens when brain does not develop or function properly?” or “What happens when the brain is injured or damaged?” Also, watch a ‘fascinating movie’ about Brain (from 9.30 AM to 11.00 AM).
Special Focus: Developmental Disorders (autism, mental retardation) , Head Trauma, Brain Injury.
Day 4 Growing Brain: Walk-in to understand how brain changes from Birth-to-Adulthood. From a ‘blob of flesh’, how do we grow up and become ‘smarter’? What happens when the ability to learn is under-developed? Don’t you want to know how we process so much of information around us? And sometimes, why do we feel depressed? What effects do drug & alcohol have on our brains?”
Special Focus: Learning Disorders (Dyslexia), Intelligence (IQ), Effect of Drugs D
Day 5 Aging Brain: Join us to understand how brain matures and functions in special ways from Adulthood-to- Old age. We all enjoy music but do you know “How does our brain react to music?” and everyone grows old, but do you know “Why old people forget things?” Also, watch a ‘fascinating movie’ about Brain (from 9.30 AM to 11.00 AM).
Special Focus: ‘Music’ in the Brain, Dementia (Alzheimer)
Day 6 Maintaining your Brain: Let’s learn how to ‘take care of your brain’. And finally, a Quiz Time to test your knowledge about brain!
