"David Kraus Lecture"

Brain Sense: Learning About the Brain

Through Puzzles, Illusions and Hands-on Activities

by

Michael DiSpezio

Join Houghton Mifflin Harcourt author, television host, and Brooklyn-born educator/scientist Michael A. DiSpezio as he facilitates a journey in which the latest brain research is explained using an assortment of mind-twisting puzzles, stimulating activities, and three dimensional illusions.

In Mr. DiSpezio's entertaining and humorous style, he'll challenge you to construct an understanding of neural function by assuming the role of active audience participant. From understanding perception to learning how to maintain a brain friendly environment, you'll see how the neurobiology of learning emerges through the mechanics of these inexpensive and easy-to-share experiences.

In addition, you'll learn the techniques for capturing and displaying your own library of 3D images!

All attendees get 3D glasses to keep.
