Open house with the mouse at the CNSR
As part of the WDR's “Open house with the mouse” campaign, the CNSR welcomed a total of 28 children and their parents. The aim was to give the children a fascinating insight into neurophysiological research. The question asked was “What ways do we have to find out about our brain?”. The three-hour program included a variety of stations that the children went through in small groups. There was the opportunity to try out various technical devices for themselves and get to know them better through games. For example, the children were able to use VR goggles to move through a virtual parkour at great heights or control a mouse helicopter in a mini-game using eye movements or neurofeedback. Finally, a small Oscar in the form of a mouse was awarded for the best acting performance on the Facereader.
Many thanks to all the children and parents for coming!
