OPEN HOUSE MNI

We are excited to invite 120 students to the 5th annual Montreal Neurological Institute's Open House, as part of Brain Awareness Week 2010. The MNI Open House event will be held on Friday, March 19, 2010 at the Montreal Neurological Institute. In the morning, the students will be given special presentations about the brain and how it is studied, from graduate students. Presentations will be interactive and will cover topics including the 5 senses (taste, smell, touch, hearing and vision), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and electro-encephalography (EEG). There will even be an opportunity for the students to see and feel a real human brain during the anatomy presentation. A keynote speaker will give a talk during lunch time. The day will culminate with a game show and raffle prizes where the students can win MNI water bottles, MNI squishy brains, and MNI t-shirts. It is a fun-filled day and the students will learn a lot about the human brain and all its wonders.

Location: Montreal Neurological Institute, 3801 Rue University, Montréal, QC
