Wednesday Recap: Imaging, Identity, and Innovation

Wednesday brought a fun mix of brain science and hands-on discovery! Interns kicked things off learning the basics of fMRI with Dr. Vanmeter, then dove into a lively discussion on neurodiversity with Dr. Wurzman, and wrapped up the morning exploring the connection between creativity and the brain with Dr. Green.

After a happy lunch break, interns got to test their own brains with a round of Neuroracer, a fast-paced game that had everyone laughing and comparing scores. The energy carried right into the afternoon, where interns split into groups to check out a cool neurofeedback lab and take a fun behind-the-scenes lab tour, swapping halfway through so nobody missed out.

Later on, interns practiced their public speaking skills and sat down for one-on-one chats with Dr. G about their research ideas. Everyone reconvened for a relaxed dinner before wrapping the evening with a second round of speaking practice and consultations, ending the day feeling motivated and ready for what's next.
