Very few of us know much about the brain and how it works, because up through high school, our schools don’t teach neuroscience. It’s because the equipment is too complex and too costly. This means you have to go to University for to study neuroscience. Greg Gage thinks that’s a shame, because one out of five of us will have a neurological disorder in our lifetime, and there currently are no cures for these diseases.
So Greg and his university lab mate, Tim Marzulu, created a company called Backyard Brains that specialized in making DIY neuroscience equipment and allows more people to do brain experimentation.
In this fun, kind of creepy demo, the neuroscientist and TED Senior Fellow uses a simple, inexpensive DIY kit to take away the free will of an audience member. It’s not a parlor trick; it actually works. You have to see it to believe it!
