The
Cognitive Control and Development Lab can often be found in classrooms
and museums throughout the Bay Area giving presentations on
neuroscience and research.
School
Presentations
Classrooms
These
presentations last for 30-60 minutes and cover basic brain function and
anatomy. We focus on the five senses and the four cortical lobes. We
end with a description of MRI and of what we do in our lab. At various
points, we use a brain model, powerpoint, and demonstration of the
Stroop task.
For a more detailed description of presentations we've done in the past, click
here.
We are happy to customize the presentations to the grade, alloted time,
and any aspects the teacher would like us to emphasize (i.e. anatomy,
being a scientist, psychology
tasks).
Faculty
Dr. Bunge is available to make presentations to principals and other
school faculty who are interested in learning more about the lab and
how they can become a part of our developmental research. We have many
studies that focus on how children develop cognitive and reasoning
skills, as well as how we might be able to help them train up these
faculties.
Please contact Dr. Bunge at sbunge@berkeley.edu for more
information.
Museum Exhibits
Visitors
are encouraged to pick up a 'passport' and get it stamped at
each one of the stations: anatomy (introducing Ned the
Neuron), optical
illusions, the brain (complete with real human brain), and the neuron
(in both candy and beaded forms).
Chabot Space and Science Center
We are pleased to have been invited to participate in Chabot
Center events including a neuroscience class for the Galaxy
Explorers
program and a public exhibit to the centers' visitors. The exhibit is a
joint effort between
the center, it's high school volunteers, and our
lab.
Click here to see pictures from our last visit. And keep
checking back to see when we will be there next!
. . . And More!
Our lab is very excited to begin exhibits at the Hall
of Health
in Berkeley. Presentations will include many of the same stations as
the Chabot Center Exhibit, as well as anything else we happen to dream up.
Starting this summer you will be able to find us at the Oakland
Museum of California
on one of their FREE Admission Sundays. Come in between
12:30pm
and 4:30pm on August 10th to say hi and learn more about our exciting
research.
Lab
Tours
The Cognitive Control and
Development Lab
is proud to encourage interest in science and research by taking an
extra step and inviting interested student groups and classes to come
visit our lab at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute on the
UC
Berkeley campus.
Exhibit
at the Chabot Science and Space Center
Saturday,
March 15, 2008
The Bunge Lab pediatric imagers visisted the Chabot Space and Science
Center in Oakland to promote Brain Awareness Week.
Children
and parents came to learn about the brain from our team of researchers
and the knowledgeable Chabot Center volunteers.
One
of the coolest parts was getting to show people what a real human brain
looks like.
Families
also got to learn about the Cognitive Control and Development Lab's
research -- and take home NORA related gifts!
