Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
I am specialized in the senses and the brain (sensory and cognitive science). I have watch how I worked on sensory memory with people who were in a coma or with dementia. With patients I stay on the field with them. For workshops with children, I was obviously not with patients, but I have watch the material that I use and have made experiments with (olfactotherapy for example).
