In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

In this activity, learners explore how their depth perception would be affected if they only had one eye. Learners work in pairs and attempt to drop a penny in a cup with one eye covered.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

These two activities (4th on the page) demonstrate the importance of two eyes in judging depth.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.
