How Your Brain Works: Neuroscience Experiments for Everyone

Discover the electrical world inside your nervous system using DIY, hands-on experiments for all ages. No MD or PhD required!

This book allows anyone to participate in neuroscience discovery through hands-on experiments that record the hidden electrical world beneath our skin and skulls. Neuroscientists Greg Gage and Tim Marzullo offer a practical guide for learning about the brain through hands-on experiments, accessible to readers from middle schoolers to college undergraduates to curious adults.

Armed with DIY electrodes, readers can see brain activity through simple neuroscience experiments. Written by researchers who invented open-source techniques to record signals from neurons, muscles, hearts, eyes, and brains, this book includes over forty-five experiments to gain a deeper understanding of the brain.
