In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

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

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, 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 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 create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

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

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

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 (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

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

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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 investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.
