Deep Mind resources
This resource allows students to explore advances that neural technology can offer to healthcare, focusing upon epilepsy. The 30 minute Deep Mind film acts as a starting point to the activities that follow. These include role play considering the ethics involved in the use of optogenetics (gene therapy with bio-...
Neuroscience resources
Using this resource students can develop an understanding of the structure and function of neurons via a series of different activities. These range from simplistic labelling of neurons and building a model motor neuron to constructing an electronic 3D simulation game that mimics brain activity. There are also...
Epilepsy resources (and Illuminating the Self activities)
This resource introduces students to the topic of epilepsy. Activities include comprehension tasks and word searches of key words and exploring brain seizures through artistic interpretation. The Illuminating the Self activities encourage artistic input and students create a piece of art connected to brain...
