Enjoyed a "Brain Bash" at City College!




The Bus envisioned above is the "brain child" of CUNY cognitive science Tyler Alterman. He wants to bring cognitive science experiments to kids via this van!



Here we are enjoying a ride in a mock-up of the van at the fund raiser at City College last Tuesday night. They raised $30,000 towards the development of this cool idea!



Here I am trying out one of the cool experiments that allows you to control a virtual cube with your mind. It took a little time but it actually worked! Cool stuff. I hope this will roll into Stamford sometime soon.
