Drip colourful paints and create a beautiful artwork based on brain synapse scans as you uncover how our brain cells communicate with one another.
The brain processes information up to a whopping 270 miles per hour. That's faster than a Formula One racing car! Recent advances in imaging technology mean we can now see exactly how our brain moves information around and helps us to identify when things might be going wrong.
Delivered by the Brain Sciences team at Imperial College London and illustrated by a stunning exhibition of real brain synapse scans, you can create your own drip painting inspired by this colourful collage of information! Whilst you decorate your image you can learn all about how the colours in the scans paint an accurate picture of our brain health and function. It’s no grey matter, come and celebrate the most multi-faceted organ with us!
