The Sensational Brain
Afternoon webinar
14:00-15:00 BST Friday 23rd April 2021
Come and explore your senses with Sai Pathmanathan in 'The Sensational Brain'
The Sensational Brain will take you on a discovery through the various senses and what happens in the brain. 
Audiences will be able to listen to some information about the brain and then be tasked with finding some bits and bobs around the house to help them understand how their senses work, seeing Sai's hands 'perform' mind boggling activities. She will look at sight and why we see something as upside down when moving a magnifying glass (or jar) to see what's happening in our brain at the time, then looking at taste, touch, smell, and hearing.
